Read the species account
Woodi has compact wing proportions and clearly defined forewing markings in comparison with related pasithoe-group species. [2]
The nominate population is recorded from Mount Apo, colini from Mount Kitanglad and tboli from Mount Parker on Mindanao. A further living-adult record is from Mount Talomo, Davao, on 14 April 2018. [2]
The illustrations retain the compact wing outline and distinct forewing markings.
Keep the enclosure away from direct sunlight, dampness and large changes in temperature or humidity. Handle the frame, clean only its exterior, and inspect for loose fragments, moisture and pests. Retain the specimen’s original labels and follow the enclosure maker’s care instructions. [3]
