NECROSCIINAE SP "QNP"

Very beautifull species isn't it ? and pretty rare too !!! Very active males and females too, both sexes flying very well and "spraying" a strong repelant odor. I breed them on Annona muricata (annonaceae) they accepted immediately as a substitute plant. Found them deep in the forest on an unidentified climber plant and quite high on it about 2 to 2,50m (7 to 8ft) which is "unusual" for most Phasmids. I suppose those "winged" species due to their flying capabilities venture higher in the trees and bigger shrubs.
And their eggs, amazing shape, almost paper thin, have to be kept in a humid environement all the time. Just astonishing how anything can emerge from that kind of egg, but it does and quite big size even !!!!!

EUBULIDES ALUTACEUS

Another beautiful species from the Obrimini family. Found those in several places but always in very wet terrain, even swampy, where the foodplant grows ! Female has a very developped and strong ovipositor. Nymphs very variable in colors and difficult to imagine those becoming those adults as they look very far appart...:)
