Another - rare - specie of that genus, this one from Laguna Province (south-Luzon).Again like the previous one, found 2 couples (matting) on a dried twig, could not as well identify the foodplant and both couples died quickly within a week !
Again, I remember the exact site where I found those and some day I'm back there looking for new ones > that said, only, when I have an identified foodplant for Asceles species and nicely growing here in Quezon City ......!
What to say about the eggs of that genus ..... just extraordinary how the female drills the underleaf of the plant and deposit each egg upside down, all ready for the babies to hatch and immediately be at the food source !!!
