Extra Everything, pt. 1 - _TNY_9727 - a photo on Flickriver

My wife found this sexy larvae of the rusty tussock moth (Orgyia antiqua) munching away inside the foliage of a purple loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria). It really looks like the design team went all-in on the styling on this one!

A photo of the adult male moth (with impressive fur and antennae) can be found here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/20748254344

It's not that common to easily see which sex a butterfly larvae is, but whith these guys, the male has yellow brushes while the female's are more orange. The adult guys become beautiful moths with impressive antennae, but the girls are wingless and spend their entire life next to the cocoon, waiting for a male to find it so they can mate before she lays here eggs right there and die.
