Parapachymorpha quadrispinosa

PSG no. 164

Origin of culture stock: Laos


Sub Family: Pachymorphinae

Foodplant in captivity:  Bramble.

Humidity requirements:  I have raised this species in both an all-net cage (which I spray thoroughly each evening) and in a mess-lidded glass tank (which I spray rarely).  So I guess they're not too fragile.

Comment: There appears to be more than one colouration of the beautiful female - a lichen-like green-colour (see pics) and a chocolate brown colour.
