The fan of M. nimbus males has a distinctive pattern of scales and setae on the fan, mostly in subdued hues. This resembles a pastel painting of the sky at dawn with white cirrus clouds against a sky of iridescent blue scales, hence the species name nimbus . The eliptical fan has no flaps and when it is fully expanded as shown here it is surrounded by an array of large bristle-like setae. These have been found under Iris in a well-watered garden at Bordertown, but also in the dry interior.
