The rosy maple moth (Dryocampa rubicunda) is a small silk moth native to eastern North America. It is famous for its striking pink and yellow coloration, making it one of the continent's most recognizable moths. Adults are active primarily at night and are attracted to lights. Their bright colors are unusual among moths and have made them a favorite subject for photographers and insect enthusiasts.
Rosy maple moth caterpillars, commonly called greenstriped mapleworms, feed mainly on the leaves of maple trees, although they may also feed on oak and other hardwoods. Adult moths do not feed because they have greatly reduced mouthparts and rely on energy stored from their caterpillar stage. Like all moths, they undergo complete metamorphosis, developing through egg, caterpillar, pupa, and adult stages before beginning the cycle again.
