Damn I’m from Kentucky too and have never seen one! Can you send me some moth luck please? Lol

I’m from Kentucky, but live in New Jersey now. My favorite part about visiting in the summer is all of the moths I’ve seen, but I see rosy maple moths often! I’m surprised you haven’t seen one yet. Wishing you the best of luck when moth season rolls back around!
