ASCELES SCABRA

Found that specie in Atimonan (South-East Luzon) exactly 2 weeks ago, a single female with missing front leg ! Still have her alive today because this time, lucky I was, she was sitting on her foodplant - yes !
A medium shrub about 1.50m high with medium/large leaves. She was sitting underneath a leaf, making it pretty hard to see as "usual" catches are mostly on top of leaves or on open twigs.
That foodplant is the "important" thing as if propagated it can (hopefully) stop my current problems with that genus feeding after the first two species died out.
