The little fox has a forewing length of 22 to 25 millimetres. The basic colour of the top of the wings is orange. A band of alternating yellow and black spots runs along the leading edge (costa) of the forewing, terminated at the wing tip (apex) by a white spot. Also in the midfield is another black spot flanked by a yellow spot and two black dots. The wing base of the hind wing is black-brown. At the leading edge of the wing, orange runs into yellow. Along the wing edges runs a fringe with blue moon-shaped spots on the inside that are black-edged. The fringe is chequered. Both the forewing and the hindwing have a protrusion. The colouration of the lesser fox is probably an example of aposematic colouration, which deters predators. Research with feeding small foxes to the great tit has shown that it is reluctant to eat the small fox and this reluctance is greater in winged than un-winged specimens. The underside of the hind wing is dark brown with a whitish, sometimes light orange band. On the forewing, the spots along the leading edge are recognisable and the colour is also whitish or sometimes light orange with dark brown. source wikipedia
