Description
The wingspan is about 110 mm. Adults are similar to Protambulyx ockendeni but the wings are narrower and paler and the pattern is less contrasting. Furthermore, the forewing upperside is lacking the large costal patches and subbasal patch on the inner margin and the marginal band on the forewing underside is much narrower. The hindwing upperside is lemon yellow.
Female Dorsal
Female Ventral
Biology
Adults are probably on wing year round.
gollark: Mostly not an OS?
gollark: The attempts to make it linuxy are either giant complex non-backward-compatible things nobody uses, or mostly irrelevant shiny details about Linux nobody really needs.
gollark: Personally, I suspect the thought process is something like:- "Hmm, CC does not look like [Windows/MacOS/whatever the user was brought up on and uses lots]"- "I must make it like this! This is an obvious usability improvement."- "Clearly nobody has thought of this already or, as it's obviously better, it would be used everywhere."
gollark: And some bundled programs, primarily other people's.
gollark: The majority of "OS"es are glorified startup screens maybe with a GUI or something. This is *not useful*.
