D .rubicunda is a beautiful little Saturniid.

_  rubicunda  _ begin flying in late May and are still around in mid =
August as a single generation.
Maples, particularly red and silver and sugar, are the prefered host =
plants for rubicunda

There can be considerable variation in the amount of pink on the =
forewing.

There is an all white form which is not a distinct species called form =
alba. I have only encountered the alba form twice .

Hi;

When I went downstairs yesterday, I saw a moth clinging to my screen =
door.  What was unusual was the colouring: light pink and light yellow!  =
It looked like the colours of Post-it notes!  I checked online and found =
it on Bev Wigney's site: Moths of Round Hill Nova Scotia.  It's a =
Dryocampa rubicunda - Rosy Maple Moth.  #7715 on her list.  Up until I =
saw this one, my favourite has been the Campaea perlata - Pale Beauty =
Moth - #6796.  And I used to think all moths were beige!

Cheers;
Suzanne
