| | | Each segment of the abdomen has dark brown bumps and dark brown bristles at the edges and in the middle. Their glands are dark brown and without hair. Their legs (3 pairs) are glossy dark brown to black. A few weeks after hatching, the larvae pupate on their food plants. One to two weeks later, the new generation of beetles hatch. Brassy willow beetles overwinter in the soil as adults.

| | Adult Autographa gamma reach wingspans of 35 - 40 mm. Their forewings are grey to dark grey and have a dark marking. In the mid-wing area is a bright marking shaped like a bent "Y". The hindwings are greyish-brown with dark edges. The silver Y has a very long proboscis and can suck nectar out from deep flower calyx. The caterpillars, which are up to 25 mm in length, are light green and have a pattern of fine bright lines on their back. | | |
| | This moth can reach wingspans of about 45 mm. The base colour of the forewings is reddish-brown. The upper surface of the forewings is divided into three sections by two transverse, light, wavy lines with dark edges. There is a row of dark brown spots from the centre to the outer edge of the forewing in the lower third which connects with the second line. The jagged edge of the forewing in the course also follows a wave with a. When the wings are outspread this dark edge continues on the hind wings’ upper surface - as also as the supreme line complained across the sub-wings is extended. | | |

It is composed of a white surrounding area against the broad and clearly visible, greenish-brown or brownish-gold coloured band with a fine dark network of lines on the surface. A shiny silver-whitish area can be on its front section. The folium in space is limited by deep waves with narrow dark edges which can be golden , bronze or brownish in colour.

The head, front of chest and first two antennae segments are usually dark. The head is small, shorter than it is wide and strongly inclined backwards. The chest has a bright posterior. The chest and front wings are covered with dark hairs. The legs are yellowish. A very useful identifying characteristic is the black, vertical lines on the thighs, which can also be found on the larvae. The lower part of the legs are covered with large, dark spots. | | |

...of the face is shiny, while the crown and forehead are dull coloured. The large compound eyes are chestnut-brown. The antennae are short and reddish brown and the 2nd segment is often as long as the 3rd. The proboscis consists of two sections and is dark brown to black-brown in colour. The cheeks in the side view appear substantially narrower than the compound eyes. A shiny, black patch is visible on the chest (thorax) - between the hips of the front and middle legs couples The abdomen, which is usu...
...legs couples The abdomen, which is usually folded forward when in resting position, has a circular cross section, and is hook-shaped especially in the males.
