Parapodacanthus hasenpuschorum "Cairns"

(by Bruno Kneubühler)

• from Cairns, Australia
   
• eggs look like a little Kiwi fruit, about 3 x 2 mm, reddish brown, very hairy - with a distinctive capitulum
   
• incubation time (HH-method on slightly damp sand) is about 4 - 5 months at 20 - 23 °C
   
• nymphs are orange, hairy, about 12mm long with green-orange striped legs
   
• no food plant could be found here in Switzerland, despite I have tried many plants in summer
   
• their natural food plant is Euodia elleryana, on which they grow well
