Description from Seitz
S. sybillina Oberth. (41b). Recalling the occidental circe but much smaller, and the white band quite narrow and on the forewing separated into spots. On the underside the band is twice as wide as above and contrasts strongly with the somewhat marmorated (marble-like) black ground. In western China, in June and July, locally abundant.[2]
Biology
The larva feeds on Gramineae.
gollark: Great!
gollark: <@319753218592866315> Do you mind if ABR gathers similar data here too? I could add a "delete my data" option too, like you don't have.
gollark: Maybe I should make ÄBR optionally gather such infodatas and store them in its high-performance™ SQLite backend.
gollark: This is by message count though, and I send longish messages. we need to collect word and char count.
gollark: Maybe shrink the date labels too.
