Moth of the Week: Rosy Maple Moth, Dryocampa rubicunda
Meet the Rosy Maple Moth, Dryocampa rubicunda. One of the more colorful moths, these normally fuzzy pink and yellow insects from the family Saturniidae are always a delight to see. Rosy Maple Moths live from Nova Scotia to parts of eastern Texas, and although not endangered, can be hard to find due to their shy nature.
These moths can be seen flying from May to August. Egg incubation lasts about two weeks. Caterpillars feed off of various plants, from maples to oaks. They are very sociable, except until their final two instars, when they become isolated. Pupation is relatively quick. There can be up to three generations a year depending on where the moth is. An interesting fact about this moth is that they always seem to emerge in the late afternoon to early night, and mate in the late night. Rosy Maple Moths live in deciduous forests. They are also called Green-striped Mapleworms. Caterpillars can occasionally become pests. Adults do not eat.

I got nothing. I tried, I really did, but nothing could match the absurdity of this.
What in the hell is even going on here? o.0
Another year older…
Well, 21 now. Here I thought the change from 19 to 20 was a massive one, but this particular age seems to hold a lot of influence. Yes, the very year that many doors will open (along with the doors of several bars and pubs, but I digress).
To me, however, it’s just another year, strangely enough. I have no urge to make a big fuss out of it. No. It’s just another year, another birthday. Only thing it really does is give me some additional points to a weird meter that determines how seasoned I am in terms of real life, which somehow gives me credibility in what I say. An oddity indeed.
We’ll just see what this year brings to me.
