It is found from Alaska to Newfoundland and Labrador, south in the east to North Carolina and in the west to northern California. [3] The wingspan is 20–25 mm. Adults are on wing from April to September. The larvae feed on Impatiens species.
Young caterpillars are black with lighter colored transverse stripes. Older larvae have two color forms. The more common form is green with yellow and white transverse stripes; the rarer form is black and banded with white and orange. In both forms, between the swollen thorax and the abdomen, there is a yellow, black, and bluish-white band.
The black hindwing has a broad pink median band. It has a wingspan of 2 to 3 inches. This moth is large and has a stout furry body. The dorsal hind region is crossed by six distinct white stripes and similar striping patterns on the wings. The hindwings are black with a thick, red-pink stripe in the middle. [7]
The caterpillars are white with black spots and have numerous black spikes along their body. Adult butterflies are monomorphic of medium size with long wings. On the dorsal side, the wings are black with narrow white and yellow stripes, with a similar pattern on the ventral side, but paler and with red spots.
Its hindwings are brown with a broad diagonal pink stripe on each side. The adult moth has an average wingspan of about 60mm. [2] In four closely related moth species, the upper side of the abdomen possesses at least three pairs of subdorsal black spots, and the median white line has a row of small black spots on either side, one per segment.
The caterpillars are black, dark brown, or gray, with broad blue longitudinal stripes and thin yellow stripes extending along each side. The back of each abdominal segment bears a white spot that is wider toward the head end. The sides are partially covered with fur-like long setae. [2]

There are blue-white lines on each segment with dispersed setae extruding from the body. Pupae are 2-2.5 centimeters and reddish-brown to black in colour. Pupae spin a ...
