"Country of origin: Mexico. The culture was established by Paul Brock from eggs sent to him by Steve Prchal, a former PSG member, in 1984. The eggs were from adults collected some 3 miles (5 km.) south of Alamos in Sonora State. The nymphs were reared on Robinia pseudoacacia Linn. – false acacia Leguminosae. Nymphs were subsequently transferred to Pyracantha but all died with the exception of one female whose eggs failed to hatch." (Harman, 2012; 13)
