To the left of the base of the antenna one of its two large eyes is showing on its head. Down from the head is the thorax with two of its four wrinkled wings sticking out to the right. The upper, larger fore wing has an orange band in the middle and two white spots in the top centre. The smaller hind wing is down from this and has an orange edge on the right. Three of its six multi-jointed legs are to the left of the abdomen, which it uses to hold onto the pupa. Down from this is the segmented abdomen.
