MITHRENES SP "Masinloc"

Mount Masinloc (950masl) > Masinloc > Zambales Province > North-West Luzon
From all the Mithrenes species I found so far (6 if I'm not mistaken....) this one is the largest, both in male and female. Nice long lasting living species, not much colorfull as all Mithrenes are, but female with a nice interesting contrast of colors between the dark body and the light yellow legs. Species feeds here on various common grasses and shrubs.
