Description
The forewings are brownish fawn, thickly irrorated with white scales and with a small V-shaped brown mark on the costal close to the apex, as well as a brown mark along the outer margin. There is a curved line of black lunular-shaped marks extending from the apex to the inner margin above the anal angle. The hindwings are pale yellow, crossed below the middle by two fawn-coloured bands of lunular-shaped marks, the first not reaching the costal margin. There are three patches of dark-brown hairs on the inner margin.[3]
gollark: There is no situation in which this would be beneficial, except something incredibly contrived like some of the power poles being missing but the boilers and inserters still working.
gollark: Their electrical output is directly proportional to steam consumption in all cases.
gollark: Each steam engine uses *exactly* half the output of a boiler at maximum power output.
gollark: It doesn't help.
gollark: They aren't at all useful.
