Cantor (p.141) says :—‘“ Two males were at different times 
captured on the Pentland Hills (Penang), at an elevation of about 
1800 ft. One was found in a dark room, where it was observed 
remaining motionless during several successive days. Its forms 
and colours caused it at first to be mistaken for a withered leaf. 
The second was taken on a tree.”
