Description

The adult of the species is brown in colour. It is 4.5 millimetres (0.18 in) long, and has silver-coloured bands on the forewings, which are hairy as well. In contrast to Pilophorus cinnamopterus, the forewings in this species are much duller. The species feed on aphids.[2]

gollark: I, personally, would be very annoyed if to check the tier of a thing I had to go through every single relevant component, though I mostly play custom-made packs with minimal recipe tweaking.
gollark: ... why not just tier the plating?
gollark: Besides, you can just tier the elite/advanced/basic/DU plating.
