Comments |
Those are the ones I
saw at my friends place.
According to him they are very common in the Philippines.
I was able to take about 20, but I stopped taking males which a far
more numerous.
They look absolutely identical to species # 2
except they have wings
See comparison
Even the eggs look identical
I found them in the airy zone between the jungle
and the beach.
The area seemed to be more important then the food plant.
I am looking forward for someone who knows
to compare those two and find out what the story is. |
No details for taxonomy here

kind of substance they secrete? Species
