About Perizoma flavofasciata (Thunberg, 1792)
This species, Perizoma flavofasciata (Thunberg, 1792), has a wingspan of 26–32 mm. Its forewings are brownish-yellow or sandy in color, marked with three toothed white transverse bands. The innermost band sits close to the wing base and is rather narrow, while the two outer bands are wider and double, with a yellow-brown stripe running through their middle. The outer white band is interrupted at its center. Aside from these bands, the forewings also have several thin, more or less complete white transverse stripes, though the brownish-yellow ground color remains dominant. The hindwings are white. The larva is pale pink, with dark pink longitudinal stripes on either side of the dorsum; the area between these two longitudinal stripes is white. For further information, see Prout.
