Forewings rather elongate, costa moderately arched, apex obtuse, termen obliquely rounded; veins all separate; light grey sprinkled whitish; a few small darker grey spots or transverse strigulae scattered along posterior of costa and dorsum. Cilia whitish grey. Hindwings light grey; cilia whitish grey.[3]
gollark: Well, I could continue work on MIDNIGHT RUNG.
gollark: I would hope so. One must wonder what else they would end up doing with the helicopters, then.
gollark: Yes, lasering planes is obviously bad, but I'm just saying that it may not be worth having helicopters constantly around (or whatever they're doing) to catch people doing it.
gollark: * probably can, in some edge cases
gollark: Realistically they'll just demand more money and do both.
