Description
The wingspan is about 16 mm. Adults are white, the forewings suffused with pale brown except the costal area. There is an ill-defined somewhat sinuous antemedial dark line, as well as slight dark discocellular marks. The apex and margin are white, sending a tooth inwards on vein 2, and with two black specks below the apex and two above the outer angle. The hindwings are pure white, with black marginal specks at vein 2.[2]

gollark: I've grabbed four short-lineage/CB AP eggs to do some experiments on in 3 days 20 hours.
gollark: Unless you only send the code via group DMs and the rest of the information via this channel...?
gollark: But then nobody will be able to help.
