Rosy Maple Moth Plush
The rosy maple moth: pink, yellow, and entirely real. People assume it's invented the first time they see a photo. It isn't. It lives in North America and it looks like sherbet.
What you're getting
- The colours are accurate. Bright yellow furry body, pink wings with yellow banding. Nobody designed this — the moth just looks like that.
- Feathered antennae. Sewn as combed fabric fronds, the way male maple moths actually have them.
- Properly fuzzy thorax. The fluffiest part, as on the real animal.
- Six pink legs that hold it up off the surface.
- 24 cm across, 200 g. Sits on a shelf or a monitor without tipping.

Questions people actually ask
Is the moth real or did someone make it up?
Real. Dryocampa rubicunda, found across eastern North America, caterpillars eat maple leaves. The adults genuinely are pink and yellow and genuinely do look like a sweet.
Do the wings open and close?
No, they're sewn in the resting position. They're stiffened panels, so store it flat or upright and they keep their shape.
How is this different from the green silkmoth?
Different species, same maker and same build. The silkmoth is pale green with a white collar; this one is the pink-and-yellow one. They look good side by side.
Is it scary for someone who dislikes moths?
Less than most. It has friendly round eyes rather than a real moth face, and the colours read as dessert rather than insect.
