A moth with transparent wing edged in rust brown, hovers in front of a lilac coloured blossom. The moth's head is an olive brown, the thorax area is a faded yellow with a dark center stripe. Below the yellow is a dark burgundy band (with the dark stripe continuing to the end) followed by light brown with a tuft of orange projecting from the rear. The background is blurred green foliage.
