What can I say about that species > just magnifiscent !!!Found it in QNP (Quezon National Park) in Atimonan, Quezon Province, South-East Luzon.
I found the male many months before the female was found by Joachim Bresseel last July 2009. That species feed on Palms exclusively, refuses Pandanus.
They live quite long in captivity, need a high humidity, they however produce very few eggs > more or less 5/6 eggs a week and only if conditions are good.
Males are very good flyers, females do not fly they are moving very little either and can remain immobile on the foodplant for a very long time they just wait for the males to fly and find them :)
