There are an estimated 160,000 moth species on the planet. To put that in perspective, there are roughly 20,000 species of butterflies. There are more moth species in the U.S. than there are bird and mammal species in all of North America. That's pretty wild. | Center for Biological Diversity

The Rosy Maple Moth is one of North America’s smallest silk moths, measuring only two to five centimeters across. With pastel pink and yellow wings, it almost looks unreal, but these soft shades actually help it blend into sunlit maple leaves. Adults don’t eat at all; their short life is spent drifting quietly through forests and gardens, most often taking flight at dusk. A tiny burst of color in the evening air, easily missed unless you’re looking for it. #RosyMapleMoth #MothMonday #NatureWonde

The luna moth (Actias luna), one of North America's most striking silk moths, faces a unique challenge when it reaches adulthood: escaping the tough silk cocoon it spun as a caterpillar.Unlike many insects that chew or dissolve their way out, adult luna moths have vestigial mouthparts and cannot feed (or bite) at all. Instead, they rely on a clever mechanical adaptation.The newly formed adult moth first secretes a protein-digesting enzyme called cocoonase from its mouth area. This chemical softe
