ACROPHYLLA TITAN
Origin > Queensland - Australia
Sumptuous and very large species, the largest I have breed so far. Both sexes have large wings, black and white with a nice purple base, the male flies nicely, strongly.
Here they accepted Guava (Psidium gujava) as replacement foodplant easily. That species require a very large cage, at least 80cm in height, as the final moult of the female is a tricky one, she needs that depth to fully hang her huge front legs and develop correctly her large wings. (thanks Alex)
