Rosy maple moths are the absolute cutest and it’s not even close
They’re such sweeties, I am always so delighted to find them!
IDK, the Rosy Ermine Moth is also pretty great...
Pretty great, and super cute. They’re kinds of like tiny mobile works of art. That nature puts so much effort into these tiny beings…
Alt-universe Mothra, tries cute before city-flattening
there is at least one person in the Our Flag Means Death fandom who cosplays as Rosy Maple Mothman
@dreyfusslugado.bsky.social here's another real life Muppet for our nature special. The level of detail on a tiny moth Muppet is amazing.
It's the only creature I know that looks like how cotton candy should taste.
I thought it was a Muppet. 😆 It is so cute.
This should absolutely be called the Rip Taylor Moth.
that's not a bug, that's magic
Seriously. Finally saw one in the real world a few months ago and squeed so loud my husband nearly fell down the stairs.
Oh my WORD! Thank you for this
This moth clearly escaped from barbie land and needs to be returned
I'm more of an Io moth fan myself, but yours is a take I won't disagree with.
Evolution is a helluva drug
Moths are absolutely lovely and this one is one of my favorites.
One of the many moths that inspire the "Wait a minute! That's real!" incidents.
Disney wishes it could create something this mad and glorious.
Sarah! This thing is too much! Where are they found?
Many places but this was in the pine barrens
You made me Google it! Apparently we have them in Ohio! I try to go into the woods in early spring/fall, so I'm probably not going to see this cutie. 😞
Wow, I've never seen one. Where do they inhabit?
This one was in New Jersey
Beautiful! Like a fairy tale 🧚
Oh my gosh — you can see those here?? Like on the East Coast???
(I live in wooded, semi-rural Virginia)
