About Chlorissa viridata (Linnaeus, 1758)
The forewings of this species have a base colour of green that quickly fades to yellow. The face is red-brown, the fillet is white, and the crown is light green. Males have filiform antennae. Forewings are light green, with a whitish-ochreous costal edge; the first curved line is faint, the second nearly straight line is whitish; cilia are white, with the basal half pale greenish. Hindwings match the appearance of forewings, with the exception that the first line is absent, and the termen is very obtusely angulated. Full-grown larvae are pale green, with connected or disconnected purplish marks along the dorsal side; they have a whitish subdorsal line, a pale yellow lateral ridge, and a purplish head. The wingspan of adults ranges from 24 to 27 mm.
