This Colorful Moth Might Just Be The World’s Most Beautiful Insect. Prepare To Fall In Love!

When we see moths in the house, we panic. It means that their larvae has probably eaten holes in our favorite clothing, meaning that they’ll have to be replaced. The last thing you’d ever think a moth could be is cute, since they can grow to be quite large and aren’t all that attractive to look at.

But you wouldn’t help but squeal when you see the Rosy Maple moth.

Its colors are astounding, and the species may change your mind forever when it comes to moths.
This lovely pink and yellow moth gets its color from a diet that consists entirely of maple leaves that it eats very early on in its life.


They live in the eastern parts of the United States, but they’re just as adorable anywhere you find them.

Once they become adults, they stop eating for the rest of their lives, which could be anywhere from two to nine months.

They live a lonely existence, as they’re very solitary when it comes to getting around.

They can be incredibly hard to spot, even with those wonderful colors, as they only come out during the first early hours of the evening in order to feed.

This is a good thing too, as their bright colors probably make them very attractive to hungry birds.

These lovely moths are definitely a sight to behold, and it’s almost sad that many of us may never get to see them in person.

SIGN NOW! BAN THE SALE OF CRUEL ‘LIVE ANIMAL’ KEYCHAINS

>>> Sign the petition now to tell China to ban live animal keychains! <<< Turtles, fish and lizards are being stuffed and sealed into plastic bags and sold on the streets as keychains in China. The cost of these animals lives? About $1.50. Swimming in a small pool of colored water, the animals only last until the oxygen is used up. Then, they can theoretically be released and kept as pets – although it’s doubtful that the same people who think an animal makes a nifty trinket have the slightest clue about how to properly care for them. In an interview with CNN, David Neale, animal welfare director of Animals Asia said, “Lack of food and diminishing oxygen concentrations within both the water and the small amount of air in these plastic pouches will cause the animals to die in a relatively short period of time after the pouches are sealed.” 😠So Cruel😠 ACTUAL REAL LIVE ANIMALS are being sealed into tiny plastic pouches and sold as f**king ke...

Discarded Dog Was Waiting To Die, Then She Found A Reason To Live

There are no green acres for retired hunting dogs in Ireland. No master's voice calling them home for good. No curling up by the fire to warm those world-weary bones. When she outlived her usefulness in the field, all Merci could expect was a place to curl up and die. The 10-year-old sighthound, also known as a lurcher, found just that in a farmer's shed. Then, unexpectedly, she found mercy. Someone spotted the ailing animal and got in touch with Gina Hetherington, founder of PAWS Animal Rescue Ireland . When they found her, Merci's body was in terrible condition. She was given a medical score of "1," the lowest a dog can get and still breathe — meaning, according to the Veterinary Medicine Center at Ohio State University , there's "no visible body fat" with ribs, pelvic bones and vertebrae "evident from a distance." In a word, she was emaciated. "The fleas were literally crawling off her he...

She Visited A Chained Dog Every Day Until The Dog Disappeared. But That Led To Something Amazing.

Jes is a member of PETA, and she feels incredibly strongly about the animals in her life. For years, one such animal was a dog named Edith. Jes saw Edith chained up day after day, so she started visiting the poor dog. She would bring the loving pooch treats, food, water, and once she even brought a doghouse to the trapped dog. Then, one day Edith’s family moved and took the dog with them. PETA spent a lot of time and energy tracking Edith down, and in March of 2016 her owner’s officially gave Edith to PETA because they were moving once again. This is an incredible and touching story, and if you check out the video below you can watch it all in close detail, and I’m sure that you’ll fall in love with Edith just the way that Jes did. Take a look! Now Edith and Jes are reunited and the two of them couldn’t possibly be happier! Share away, people!
