Unmistakable, with elongated forewings and a large stout body. They are uncommon, found singly on sunny moist spots in forested areas mid-morning and are sometimes seen when they are disturbed from their resting places under large leaves of the understorey at a certain height. Seasonal and much localised in distribution.
