Butterflies in June

June seems to be the time to look for uncommon butterflies in the mountains. I had no experience here and was happy to receive guidance from Mr T. Without any real expectations I was surprised to see my first Midori Shijimi in just a few minutes.

Hayashi Hairstreak, ハヤシミドリシジミ    Favonius ultramarinus



Seeing it like this is one thing, waiting for it to open its wings on a rainy and windy day is another...



Very briefly I could catch a glimpse



The Alphabetical Hairstreak,ウラミスジシジミ   Wagimo signata


Rare in Kyushu, I heard. First time for me





The Black-banded Hairstreak, ミズイロオナガシジミ   Antigius attilia



Orange Hairstreak, アカシジミ   Japonica lutea



Japanese Flash, トラフシジミ   Rapala arata


Thank you, Mr T!
