The continues! For this the 6th day of , I present a double feature of two of my favorite moths for utter fabulosity, The Rosy Maple#Moth, rubicunda, and the moth, io. Both just stunningly gorgeous.

A photo of the top of the Rosy Maple moth, a small triangular moth with a bright yellow head covered in fur-like scales, bright pink legs, and wings patterned in yellow and pale pink.
A photo of the head and front area of the Rosy Maple Moth, showcasing the bright pink legs, fuzzy yellow head, yellow antennae, and pink forewings.
A photo of the top of a male IO Moth. The head and body of the IO Moth is covered in yellow fur-like scales, this male has long feathery antennae used to help find the pheromones produced by females. The forewings are a rich yellowish orange marked with dark spots on the top, and a scalloped dark line bisecting the lower half of the wing. The hind-wings are marked with a brilliant dark eye-spot, bordered with rings of bright yellow, orange, yellow, and a tiny final fringe of orange.
A detail photo of the IO Moth’s eyespot, showing an iridescent center portion ringed with dark black scales and the surrounding yellow and orange rings. The eye spot helps deter predation.
