Imagine stepping outside to find a creature you thought only existed in cartoons: a bright, fuzzy, pink and yellow winged thing. Journalist and podcast host Rebecca Lavoie recently discovered not one, but two rosy maple moths on her deck, and the internet can’t believe they’re real.
“This moth exists in nature and it’s ON MY DECK,” Lavoie tweeted. “No that’s arts and crafts,” someone responded, jokingly. “Oh my days it looks like something a child would draw,” another added. “What an absolute strawberry-banana milkshake of a moth.” someone else replied.
