Hi, I found some information from a Chinese website, and I translated it into English: “Adults are intolerant to high temperatures and have a short life span. They usually gather on zelkova trees in shady habitats in mountainous areas to suck the tree sap. The wild larvae live for 1 to 2 years and feed on the humus soil of rotten wood.”
Well Im a Chinese student myself, and sometimes Im so curious to know if there are any distributions in southwest China.
That I don’t know, but maybe in Tibet or the area neighbouring Arunachal Pradesh could have some populations. As there are other species as well that normally overlap with L. cantori
Cheers
Ben
Yeah, the Tibet is such a wonderful place, I guess I’ll find it out someday by myself 🙂
fingers crossed that you can 🙂
Thank you. This is good information. they are indeed very sensitive to high temperatures. If I could ever get them I would also need to buy a fridge to keep them cool 🙂
