Deroplatys
lobata
Deroplatys lobata is
very similar to Deroplatys dessicata, but smaller and even more cryptic.
I like the more graceful lines of their shield and more convincing vein-like
patterning of their dead-leaf mimicking wings. Both D. dessicata and D. lobata exhibit impressive startle displays,
when threatened. Wing-spots and patterns are alarming when unexpected!
Both species, if obtained, are easy to rear in captivity!
