RELEASING # 1

First such an experience for me and the guys on the trips with me is that big releasing we made 2 days ago on late afternoon at Ilanin Forest (west-Luzon) !! Released where 20 adults Mnesilochus capreolus (the same ones I got at the same place as L1-L2 babies 6 months ago......) and especially 400+ L1-L2 and L3 Sungaya inexpectata babies. Additional to those was released as well, almost a thousand eggs of sungaya inexpectata and several hundreds eggs of Phyllium sp. !! Of course the releasing sites were carefully chosen, according foodplants availability and history of such species present already at the sites. Very nice feeling indeed watching all those hundreds phasmids walking slowly away underneath leaves, giving all of us a lasting feeling of something achieved and hopefully contributing, even so slightly, to keep those species (for) ever present in those areas. Definitively an experience to renew some day !!! :))
