Temnora plagiata is a moth of the family Sphingidae. It is found in Africa.[2]

The length of the forewings is 21–23 mm (0.83–0.91 in). The forewing outer margin is bisinuate, strongly convex in the middle and feebly denticulate. The underside of the abdomen has two series of brown dots. The forewing upperside has a conspicuous strongly curved brown antemedian band, a discal spot, and a dark brown ring with a pale centre. There is also a large sharply defined quadrangular costal patch. The hindwing upperside is brownish-orange, the submarginal line brown, running continuous from the costa to the tornus but more weakly marked between veins. The marginal band is pale brown.

gollark: It does not overload subscripting.

gollark: In case of the failure of Discord, I will have to manually process the reminder database and track down those who set reminders.

gollark: Anyway, to ensure reminder delivery, I should make it try:- original reminder channel- other channels on server if the original is unavailable/deleted- DMing user- DMing a random person who also set a reminder

gollark: Columns are declared in order *too*, but that really shouldn't be relied in like the python API does.

gollark: In SQLite they do actually, there's an INTEGER PRIMARY KEY rowid column unless you disable that explicitly.
