OPHICRANIA SP "NEGROS"

Negros island > Visayas > Central Philippines
Another beautiful species from this genus, the 3rd posted here. This one feeding on various palms > I successfully breed them using 2 very common palm species - Areca, which can be given directly to them, leave very thin and easy to bite, however using only the softest new ones for hatchlings and L1-L2 - Adonidia, leaves harder shall be used for later stages L3 and up and always cut the very hard leaves edges with a sharp scisor.
Species is producing a very small number of eggs but seems to have a longer life span.
[Thanks Bruno]
