Up-Close Look at a Rosy Maple Moth

Occurred on May 26, 2022 / West Shokan, New York, USA

: "The rosy maple moth is a delightful moth to encounter across its range in eastern North America. Vibrant with its pink and yellow coloration, it is the smallest of the silk moths with a wingspan of less than two inches. A group of these was found resting on a building in West Shokan, New York on an early May morning, which allowed the photographer Frank Beres a rare chance to get a close-up look at their unique, fluffy beauty. Frank is an ecologist and naturalist photographer from upstate New York, USA dedicated to sharing the beauty of biodiversity. He has documented thousands of species since moving to the area in 2017."
