Hallo Rob,
thank you for your interesting message. This is the second record I here from Nederland. Tymo Muus, Beetsterzwaag, has already informed me, that this species was found there. In my opinion it’s only a matter of time, that perspectalis will spread out in Germany and just so in The Netherlands. I fear, we cannot stop it’s spread, and we have to accept this box-tree-pest in Europe, a species with an enormous reproductive potential. Let’s wait and see.
I have tried to breed it, but without success. I have now contacted somebody in Japan and hope to get information about breeding. This will take some time, but the next possibility for that is not before may next year.
If you want to write directly, my mail-addr. is: eok.d(at)arcor.de.
Vriendelijk groet.
Eckard
