The wingspan of the male is 20 mm and the female 26 mm. Forewings with broad cell. Antennae of male ciliated. Forewings with an irregular and highly dentate postmedial line present. Ground colour ochreous. Antemedial and medial lines of forewings reduced to a series of spots. Marginal speck series absent. Disk is often suffused with fuscous. Larva thickly clothed with short closely situated black hairs, which open out at the joints when it rolls itself into a ball.[3]

gollark: In any case, the asymptotically-fastest multiplication algorithms are worse for any problem which fits into the universe.

gollark: Just take `x << 3 + x << 1` or something like that, unless it has something faster; you don't need some ultrahyperfast algorithm.

gollark: What? It's multiplication by a constant. This is stupid.

gollark: Alpine Linux will fit onto way less fine.

gollark: One of my VPSes boots off a 768MB disk, although it's tight.
