Description

Head very dark brown, almost black; front dappled with cream colour. Antennae dark brown, and about the length of the insect; having spines at each joint, except that next the head. Thorax spineless, brownish black, with white patches on its sides; and, when viewed through a microscope, punctured. Scutellum very small, and nearly triangular. Elytra brownish black, margined at the sides and suture, with whitish patches thereon, punctured; having two spines at the extremity of each. Abdomen and breast black, and covered with short grey hairs like pile. Legs reddish brown, with a small spine at the tip of each of the femora (except the fore ones), and another at the tips of the tibiae. Length of body ​3⁄4 inch (19 mm).[2]

gollark: I find it very hard to reason about code which frequently ends up chopping up infinite lists.
gollark: Haskell code is very confusing because of its crazy use of abstraction everywhere, somewhat alien (but nice and clean) syntax, and the whole lazy evaluation thing.
gollark: ```haskellprimes = filterPrime [2..] where filterPrime (p:xs) = p : filterPrime [x | x <- xs, x `mod` p /= 0]````primes` here has been defined as the infinite list of all prime numbers.
gollark: Learn Haskell.
gollark: No, there are better ways.
