This characteristic grayling flies at high altitudes in the Alps and can seem to disappear when it lands on rocky, chalky surfaces. It has the surprisingly fast, swoopy flight typical of graylings but lacks any other obvious features when on the wing. Despite this, or perhaps because of it, it can't really be mistaken for anything else once the jizz has been learned.
