A striking-looking moth with yellow to yellowish orange wings. The wingspan is 25–32 mm. The adults are thought to mimic poisonous Lycid beetles, such as Calopteron species.
Spotted on wildflowers in an overgrown powerline meadow. The mixed forest nearby.

I corrected this spotting. This moth is an amazing mimicry of net-winged beetles.
