These were brought to me by Dr. Uzi Glazer from a visit to Bet Zera in the Jordan valley. At the moment they are doing quite well at home on a diet of carrot and lettuce. (update). I now have adults which are much paler than the larvaeand do not hide away so much. The males have abdomens protruding well beyond their wings.
