Chestnut Tiger Butterfly etc. from next city's Ryuou-Mt.


( I have a next year's Calendar gift in the previous post.)
*Chestnut Tiger Butterfly;  "asagimadara,アサギマダラ" *
Today, my husband took me to the Ryuou-Mt. to see Chestnut Tiger Butterfly.
This particular butterfly come to Japan around May and travels through Japanese archipelago to live the temperature about 23℃.  At the hillside of the mountain, the flower they love "Boneset; hiyodoribana,ヒヨドリバナ "  is cultivated and blooming now. To their benefit, this flower's honeydew has poison. But the praying mantis is the natural predator for them. The staff who happened to be there explained to my husband while I was busy taking pictures p:) 
I found the marking character at home. I was SO surprised, maybe I must report this.
The staff told my husband how to ID the gender. Another LUCK♪
 There's continued version about marking in the next post. 

* Two another butterflies I found *
             Cyrestis thyodamas and male. female of  Indian Fritillary
These butterflies are my "week's favorite" for Friday's Hunt.
Flowers and Fences on the Mt.

They looked comfortable among the flowers.



　　＊The Moon on 10th.＊

I attended my grandmother's 50th memorial anniversary.  (the last anniversary)
Wishing you will have a wonderful rest of the week.

    Wow, your photos are stunning, Miyako san! Beautiful butterflies and flowers. It's terrible someone would put marking like that, but I'm glad the butterfly looks happy enjoying the flowers. Interesting to know how to identify gender. Cyrestis thyodamas is a very unique looking butterfly! It kind of looks like a very delicate glass art :-)
    And cute kitties! They must be enjoying a nice autumn day :-)

    Have a wonderful day, Miyako san xoxo

    Miyako...I so seldom see butterflies any more. Maybe a Monarch or a tigerlily and that is about it. They seem to be rare these days. You took some impressive photographs of butterflies. See you next week.

    Those butterflies were stunning. I've never seen anything like them before so it was so neat you got pictures of them to share.
    Pretty flowers and nice fences and of course very cute cats.

    Dearest Miyako,
    What a lovely post so full of beauty.
    Indeed, almost barbaric looking to see those markings on their frail wings...
    You mention that to the butterflies' benefit the flower's honeydew has poison... Wondering if that is correct? Probably the flower's honeydew contains nectar or honey for the butterflies to feed on... Poison would kill them.
    So many different varieties you captured!
    The fluffy kittens look happy between the flowers too.
    Great moon shot as well.
    Sending you hugs and blessings,
    Mariette

    Butterflies are beautiful creatures, so graceful as they move among the flowers. Your photos are lovely.
    We had a school group (41 students) from Japan (Hyogo Prefecture) give us a presentation today in school. The students enjoyed it very much, and so did I.
