Forewing sooty black, densely irrorated (sprinkled) with creamy white, a number of basal patches, costal patches, and a transverse row of submarginal patches creamy white; disc of wing occupied by four irregular transverse bands of large hyaline (glass-like) patches. Hindwing hyaline white, yellowish at base.

gollark: I was looking at making it support networking together multiple skynet servers, for redundancy, but that never panned out because distributed systems design is very hard.
gollark: That was a feature meant to allow everyone basically the same access to information as skynet admins, but eh.
gollark: Apart from the ability to view past logs the Rust version is basically generally better.
gollark: You... just want to use the node version for some reason?
gollark: Also, this is weird: I'm trying to figure out why my laptop's WiFi latency is weirdly high, so I ran `watch iw dev wlan0 link` to try and see what it's doing, and the "rx bitrate" randomly drops to 6Mbit/s quite often.
