NECROSCIINAE SP "Tapulao 1"

Another species of that beautiful genus I collected last end of January on the foot of Mount-Tapulao / Zambales province, West-Luzon. Collected a single specimen then, a female that was a subadult (unfortunately). She moulted to adulthood a couple of weeks later and lived pretty long feeding on guava (psidium gujava). Of course eggs laid were sterile and I lost the culture of that species too [for the moment till my next trip to Mt-Tapulao....:) ]
