This is a very unusual species of Proctarrelabis, but it is difficult to distinguish them without the presence of the male. This is a heavily gravid female. Proctarrelabis lays batches of about 30 eggs on vegetation and the larvae sometimes clump together without harming or cannibalizing each other, but they rapidly attack faster-moving prey. If they have sufficient food they can complete a life cycle in a year. The adults hawk prey, usually at dusk and they can often be found within the abdomen held erect in typical pheromone-emitting posture. |
