Gynautocera rubriscutellata is a diurnal species, active in low elevation areas, with a wingspan of 85âÂÂ90 mm. Its hindwings are shorter than that of Histia flabellicornis, another species of Zygaenidae with a similar appearance. Part of its hindwings bear metallic blue coloration. It is also very similar in appearance to G. papilionaria, which is also found in southeast Asia.
G. rubriscutellata larvae are black or dark brown with bright yellow vertical stripes marking the front and back of their bodies.
