Description

Its wingspan is about 20 mm. Palpi with second joint reaching only just beyond the frontal tuft. Forewings usually with a tuft of raised scales on discocellulars. The body is dark brown, with black irrorations (speckles) and fuscous suffusion. Forewings with oblique, sub-basal, and antemedial lines angled below costa. The medial area blackish, with black cell-speck and edged by oblique black lines, where the outer highly dentate below veins 3 and 2. There is an indistinct waved postmedial line and waved grey sub-marginal line. Patches of fuscous suffusion found on margin below apex and above outer angle. Hindwings with indistinct dark antemedial, medial, postmedial and submarginal lines, becoming obsolescent on costal area, which is pale.[4]

gollark: I mean, those apply to some narrowly defined things in physics, for limited definitions of "action" and such, but not in general so far as I can tell.
gollark: I don't think so, unless you really stretch the definition most of the time or claim it's metaphorical or something.
gollark: Like "colourless green ideas sleep furiously" and such.
gollark: It's just that stuff like "thought isnt action. so things that started as thought are just concepts in action, the action is still the same action as all other actions, push and pull." and "every action has an equal and opposite reaction" don't seem like... semantically meaningful sentences. I mean, they're... valid sentences, but don't look like they're actually conveying any true useful information.
gollark: Sure?
