This beautiful species (hence the name “pulchellus”) is a Karoo endemic, known only from the Northern Cape of South Africa. It is highly cryptic and blends specifically with the karroid-type vegetation of the Nama Karroo. Larvae are unknown. This is a “first” for the LaceWing Map – very interesting. |
