Females have a yellow costal band on the forewings and there is no discal spot. The male hindwings are yellowish white with two longitudinal, brown lines. The female hindwings are yellowish white, with some veins tinged with light brown.[2] Adults have been recorded on wing from April to September and in December.[3]

gollark: That doesn't really let you restrict or measure power draw, though.
gollark: Yes, it does.
gollark: There's no mod for that installed, so we would just wire the local networks together and hope nobody draws too much.
gollark: Also, we have a mod allowing you to power IC2 stuff off RF and vice versa, I just noticed.
gollark: Would anyone be interested in a power grid thing?
