Description
The scarce evening brown is 90 to 95 mm in wingspan and broadly resembles the Melanitis evening browns, with rich brown colour above. The upper forewing has a broad yellow apical band which reaches the termen. The male, unlike Cyllogenes suradeva does not have a brand on the upper forewing.[3]
gollark: Rust (reset the timer, gibson) has its whole "fearless concurrency" thing, and is very performant and safe at the cost of, well, being harder to work with because you have to explicitly reason about lifetimes.
gollark: .NET is really fast and good for webapps.
gollark: D is also a thing which exists, although it has less of an ecosystem than Go.
gollark: F#'s pretty cool if you like .NET.
gollark: I use Node.js (well, TypeScript, really), heretically, for web applications.
