Description
This moth has mottled brown forewings and white hind wings that are hidden when the moth is at rest.[3] The body is stout and the wingspan is about 35 mm.
Biology
The adult moths are probably nocturnal as are most noctuoids. The larvae are probably foliage eaters but are not known as an agricultural pest.

gollark: I'm not clear exactly what everyone is doing, but:- Ojas and someone are doing mechanical/hardware design, which is general to basically all the challenges- me and Aidan are doing cameras and sensors, which generalizes to most of them- actually I have no idea if anyone else is doing anything
