Description
The wingspan is about 16 mm. The forewings are pure white with traces of a sinuous antemedial line. There is a diffused black patch on the discocellulars and the costa above the end of the cell. The whole outer area is fuscous black, except the apex and margin, on which black specks are present.[2] The hindwings are white, with a few scattered fuscous scales.[3]
gollark: That's the parents being bees, really.
gollark: I would say the real problem here is the incentive structures making it better to plant "useless crops" than ones which are better.
gollark: Really, leaving the EU has been an excellent decision for us all, especially since the NHS gets 350 million per week, which is totally something which happened.
gollark: Oh. The issue I was worried about was that apparently there aren't enough HGV drivers because something something brexit so now lots of places are missing food.
gollark: Ability is presumably what you're trying to *measure* in the sporting competition, so grouping based on it is nonsensical.
