Pretty in Pink and Yellow

Found this guest resting on the house by the front door. According to Wikipedia this moth is a Dryocampa rubicunda and they like maple trees.

Hopefully, the caterpillars of  this creature won't be as destructive as the Gypsy Moth infestation we had last year and predicted worse for this year.

  1. Isn't nature impressive? Such beauty can cause such destruction. I hope this one is not hard on the maples in your area.

  3. Cool colors. I see alien in prayer, but I am reading a paranormal book right now. Obviously in my subconscious.
