Dicentria argyroma is a moth of the family Notodontidae. It is found in north-eastern Ecuador.[1]

The length of the forewings is 18.5–21 mm. The ground colour of the forewings is a mixture of silvery white and purplish grey scales, with blackish brown scales scattered along the veins. The ground colour of the hindwings is coppery white.

Etymology

The species name is derived from Greek argyros (meaning silver) and omos (meaning shoulder) and refers to the silvery-white region of the forewings in the area of the discal cell.

gollark: I assume the intention here was something like```pythondef mainloop(input): observe_object() if object_on_left(): return go_left() elif object_on_right() return go_right()```

gollark: Each "tick", though, do the new actions replace the old ones or what?

gollark: Hmm, seems good, very functional programming ish.

gollark: I mean, it could also detect non-blue things.

gollark: Thus, object detection?
