| - | |description= | + | |description=Magenta certainly describes this winged insect very well, as its rounded V-shaped wings are mostly that, although interspersed with black, white and other muted shades in whorls and ribbed piping. Its leaf-shaped antennae are fragile and feathery. Its body is thick and flat, tapering toward the posterior in subdued segments. Approximately three [[Measurements|thum]]s in length, it is almost double that in width. |
