Description
The wingspan of the male is 20 mm and that of the female is 22 mm. The antennae of the male are ciliated. Forewings with a series of postmedial blotches conjoined into a band. It differs from Asura rubricosa in being pinkish. The sub-basal band is reduced to a series of irregularly placed specks. Medial band narrow and more erect. The postmedial band reduced to irregularly placed spots. In form arcuata, medial band is slightly curved, in rosea and aurora forms, it is straight. The form aurora has very narrow medial band and almost obsolete sub-basal and postmedial bands.[2]
gollark: I suppose if you model LGBTQ+ etc. acceptance as some sort of 1D scale ranging from "persecuted heavily" to "worshiped as gods" with "general sensible acceptance" in the middle, and we're somewhere down between "persecuted" and "acceptance", then even if the target is "general sensible acceptance" it may be more effective to... market stuff? slightly more toward the "worshiped as gods" end in order to reach the middle.
gollark: Yes.
gollark: I mean, I prefer "let's learn about some historical issues regarding [GROUP]" over "[GROUP] great, let us all praise [GROUP]".
gollark: Sorry, have been.
gollark: They have based on skin color, which is also very arbitrary.
