Our daily take had risen to forty a day, and about a third of them were classified as unknowns. More amber-red fights like those seen on July 18 had been observed over the Guided Missile Long-Range Proving Ground at Patrick AFB, Florida.
Edward J. Ruppelt - The Report on Unidentified Flying Objects

At the bottom of this crater are two breathing holes, two stigmata with amber-red tips. The edge of the cavity is fringed with half a score of pointed, fleshy festoons, which diverge like the spikes of a coronet. The creature can close or open this diadem at will by bringing the denticulations together or by spreading them out wide.
Jean-Henri Fabre - The Life of the fly; with which are interspersed some chapters of autobiography

The shell of the egg, now a little wrinkled, but still of a bright orange colour, retains its position, so that the group of eggs, apart from its slightly withered appearance, remains just as it was. The young larva measures a millimetre and a half in length. The head and legs are black, the rest of the body a dull amber-red.
