Clitarchus hookeri (PSG 7) 

    This is another really interesting looking nymph.  It is easy to get excited about the adult when a nymph looks neat.  Unfortunately, my very few nymphs of this species all died in their 1st instar.  Hopefully I will get a chance to try them again someday.  I really don't know what went wrong; perhaps a weak strain.

Foodplants: bramble

1st instar
