Etymology

The species name refers to the colouration of the forewing and is derived from Greek cirrhos (meaning yellow) and chroma (meaning colour).[1]

gollark: I'm aware. But it's kind of weird that they cost so much still.
gollark: It can plot graphs nicely using several different web applications.
gollark: Graphing ones cost something like £100. My *phone*, which has a very fast (comparatively...) processor, 32GB of storage, a 5" touchscreen and wireless networking, cost less than that.
gollark: Calculators seem weirdly expensive for what you get. Fancier ones anyway.
gollark: It has nice features, though the UI can sometimes be annoying.
