Adults are testaceous, the forewings with five oblique ferruginous bands. The first and second bands slightly converging hindward, second and third slightly diverging. The third and fourth are almost parallel, with two indistinct paler bands between them. The wing beyond the fourth band is darker than elsewhere. The fifth band is slightly curved, converging towards the fourth. The hindwings have three paler bands, which correspond to the third, fourth and fifth of the forewings.[2]

gollark: If you want efficient design it is more thinky.
gollark: It's not as if the HECf reactors run efficiently at all.
gollark: Oh nooooo, how horrible, people are designing high-heat reactors and using them on low-heat stuff...
gollark: <@222954376677949442> I don't see if it matters if people make HECf ones and run other fuels in them. Under the current rules they're worse than other designs for efficiency and stuff anyway.
