Other Non-Filipino species I breed / have breed #12

EXTATOSOMA TIARATUM SP?
Origin > Queensland - Australia
Here's a very nice and interesting species......starts with the eggs that are only half size of the "usual" ETs we all know, then the females colorations are very variable indeed : as pictured it goes from brown to orange and then green!!! I started culture with guava (Psidium gujava) till L4 then changed foodplant to Muntingia....from that moment on started to appear a few specimens turning green color :) I should have probably started with muntingia even a moult earlier and I'm convinced that some specimens would turn in very deep green color > next generation for sure ! Sexual breeding. (Thanks Alex)
