MITHRENES WHITEHEADI

This species is the rarest one I have posted so far !!! Eggs were still unknown, but will be described soon ! Found that medium/large species along with the Mithrenes caluweae, they live in the same places and feed on the same foodplants. They have an evident "attraction" for small river banks and love to hang over the water on a dried twig, most of the time male is always present - or matting or just standby ! On close-up picture of the female, nice to notice the tiny black scattered spots on the body and the black "horns" on top of the head.
