aestival

The aestival brood is much smaller than the vernal brood.

The fore wing of the aestival form is white, that of the autumnal form golden yellow.

Adults of the autumnal form are on wing in October and November, while the aestival form is on wing in July.

"Icarus Descending" is set in the same shattered America that formed the background of Ms. Hand's earlier books "Winterlong" and "Aestival Tide."

There are two seasonal colour forms, an autumnal form with a whitish, triangular costal blotch on the fore wing and an aestival form with a brassy-yellow costal blotch.

The aestival form has an ochre-brown fore wing marked distinctly with a yellowish costal blotch, while the autumnal form has darker fore wing with no distinct costal mark.

There are two seasonal forms, which differ in size and colour: one is a aestival form with adults on wing in summer from July to August, and the other is an autumnal form with adults on wing in autumn from mid September to October.

The Principal, a frightful piece of lava from a volcano long extinct, actually insisted that I relinquish domestic tuition, simperingly permitted the murky phrase sexual harassment to hover in the air between us, and indicated that in the course of the aestival recess he might be reconsidering the terms and conditions of my employment.
