Velvet violet wings, ivory scalloped edges, two fine antennae and powdery green wing dust; small enough to sit on a mushroom rim. Wings open halfway along the curve of an amber cap. Green spore dust gathers at the inner veins without obscuring their anatomical structure. Rests by a cap, opens to a short melodic answer, then keeps the quiet after the orchard response. This answer form represents two dotted beats. Sound design: Soft brushed shaker and breath flute. Native use and wake write its own small state. No native audio or automatic image animation.
Named native traits at inspection: wo2-spore-moth-answer-voice. The guide does not independently test these behaviours.
