Beautiful species I found a few weeks ago and when it was ID as a Rhamphosipyloidea I just said to myself, wow not just any Rhamphosipyloidea this one !!! This is my 3rd beautiful Rhamphosipyloidea species after those from "Ilanin" and "Tapulao". This one looking like a Necrosia species is every aspect, even the egg laying is the same way as a Necrosia > hammering eggs in a soft support > in my breeding cage, thick folded kitchen towels paper. However the difference is the foodplant as this one, unlike Necrosias, feeds on Guava ! Not a prolific egg producer as the other Rhamphosipyloideas, that species like a wet and high humid environement. For the record we also found a few males on Mount Palakong/Real with Joachim 2 years ago
