Pink and white moth?!

[PixelRabbit]

I had to look this fella up, I have never seen one before! It is a Rosy Maple Moth and are apparently very common, if they are as common as they say they are then more people need to take pictures of them IMHO

C&C always welcome and appreciated!

Colours/white were a bit of a challenge but I think I got it about right.

This type of moth was on my apt door in college and I remember taking a photo of it! So pretty.

Judi, nicely done. Love the composition, and the contrast in colors. I'm nearly 65 and I've never seen one before that I can remember.

Dxq, I read it twice, one said something along the lines of "if they weren't so common they would draw more attention because of their colouring" ?? Jaxx is the only person I've come across that has seen one lol
I left the porch lights on last night in hopes of attracting more, no luck though.

Thanks Jaxx! That's cool

Thanks Joel of course it had to be on the back of a nice vibrant sunflower to make things interesting lol
