The moth does not appear until the following summer, and is most common in July. (See Fig. 79.) The fore wings are light brown, variegated with patches of greenish white, with many wavy lines of a dark-brown color, two of which enclose a small whitish space; at the base there ^iQ- '^9. is a short blackish mark near the middle; the tip and the outer hind margin are whitish, tinged with red in the males, and near the outer hind angle there are two black dashes and one small white dash.
