    Heteropteryxiyxyxixi Dilatata

    They eat a lot of plants - in fact I think that if you will feed them with "regular trees" they will eat half of them. Preferred can be oak but they will eat beech, linden, raspberry etc. Really many trees and shrubs. During summer - no problem. During winter what is green is bramble, they love...
