ENGLISH:

DESCRIPTION:
The Mot " Bala blanku " translated in english: " White Ball " Mot.
There are not many Mots that show colour on their bottom part.
The Mot " Bala blanku " has four white colour markings on it's bottom.
She is an amazing Mot. We did not get to take a picture of it yet. We had
one in captivity for study and before we came to the part of taking pictures,
she escapes miraculously.
She has two tone of brown colour on the upper body with a more black / gray
back. Between the brown colour you can also see white small dots.
A few large white markings on the back and the edges of it's wings are
fine serrated. She is completely brown at the bottom with a more darker abdomen.
Length from head to bottom edge of wing is 2,8 cm.

CHARACTERISTICS:
Our drawing can not show the beauty of this insect.
The Mot " Bala blanku " lands in all position; branches, leaves and on the
ground too.
The one we had was so cleaver that she escape, by making use of one
of the holes in the container with an opening of: 3mm by 10mm.
