The Rosy Maple Moth is a very common moth in North Carolina. It belongs to the silkmoth family Saturniidae, which includes several of the world’s largest and showiest moths.
These moths are forest dwellers, as the caterpillars feed on a variety of trees, including maples. While the larvae are sometimes considered pests of trees due to their leaf munching habits, the adults are completely harmless. In fact, they do not feed at all. Adult Rosy Maple Moths rely entirely on the fat reserves they build up as larvae. (Source)
