This is jagged towards the margin and has thin cream line edges, connected along the costa to a triangular cream stain at the apex. The hindwings are plain whitish yellow.

The larvae feed on dog rose.

gollark: As they say, But even when those Turing firmware blobs end up being released, there will still be the issue like with Maxwell / Pascal / Volta of only running at the boot clock frequencies without any re-clocking support for being able to drive the hardware at its optimal clock frequencies. For overcoming that challenge, additional firmware support or workarounds need to be devised around the PMU handling. Until that happens, the Nouveau performance past the GeForce GTX 700 series remains very slow.
gollark: This is efficiency.
gollark: If you instead say you'll do them in 6 to 8 weeks, people will be happy if you do them in mere days.
gollark: See, this is the problem, you shouldn't say you'll do things in 10 minutes.
