*Chestnut Tiger Butterfly "アサギマダラ, asagimadara"*
The other day, my friend took me to the next city's hillside of the mountain, where the flower they love "Hemp Agrimony; hiyodoribana，ヒヨドリバナ " is cultivated.
This particular butterfly travels through the Japanese archipelago from north to south. Spending summer cool "Hokaido" or "Tohoku
region" and when temperature starting to go down, heading south to even warmer "Okinawa".
This was my first chance to see this rare butterfly. Unfortunately, there were only 5~6 of them flying through the flower. But thanks to my friend, it was a great experience enjoying this graceful butterfly under the blue sky. It was hard for me to catch the moment they parked on the flower, p;)
I was glad to be able to introduce them to my friends♡♡♡
Maravilhosas fotos e que borboleta linda! Adorei ver! beijos,chica
ReplyDeleteSimply beautiful, my dear friend! Butterflies here are in the middle of their migrations from the north to the south, into Mexico, and since we are so close to Mexico, we are right on their path. Love seeing them, and I've never seen any like yours~

Hello, Miyako! What a beautiful butterfly. I am so happy you saw this rare butterfly to share with us. Your photos are lovely! Wishing you a happy day and weekend ahead.
ReplyDeleteHi dear Miyako. I just love butterflies, and this one is very special indeed. So delicate looking. How lovely to have been able to actually see it for real! We have certainly had lots of butterflies and bees in our garden this summer. Hope all is well my friend. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteMiyako, these are the most beautiful butterfly pictures I think I've ever seen (and I look at a lot of nature blogs)...you are a talented photographer...butterflies are so hard to "catch" on film. Oh I love this post. Thank you for sharing.
