Mating Between Two Species: Diplocodes trivialis-Diplacodes nebulosa
I spotted a tandem pair between two Diplacodes species - Diplacodes trivialis (male) and Diplacodes nebulosa. Diplacodes trvialis (hw = 23 mm) is normal much larger than Diplacodes nebulosa (hw = 19 mm). However, the population of Diplacodes trvialis at a site in Kajang 2 is much smaller in size (hw = 17-19 mm). The below photo shows a small-sized male (blue colour) Diplacodes trivialis in tandem with a female Diplacodes nebulosa.
