Mount Masinloc and Masinloc Falls > Masinloc > Zambales Province > North-West Luzon.My first collecting trip of the new year, Mt Masinloc, 950masl. Nice mountain with nicely preserved ecosystem, lots of insects and wildlife all arround. Typical west Luzon style forest, dry dipterocarpus. 4 hours collecting on a single trail that goes up half way the mountain to the Masinloc Falls, unfortunately trail then stops there and I was not able to go all the way to the summit. Found 3, may be 4 new species there > an Asystata, a Mithrenes, a Necrosia and another species I do not even know the genus ! Besides some sungaya males and the always there/everywhere Rhamphosipyloidea gorkomis :)
A place to visit sometimes again....!
