I almost forgot to publish this post. It's over 3 weeks old. Sorry. The weather conditions during my time in Tsushima were very nice. Clear skies, no rain, temperatures in the 20Cs. It felt like summer. I took some time watching butterflies and found some real beauties.
Female Great Mormon, ナガサキアゲハ ·♀
Common Jay, ミカドアゲハ Not often seen in my area, so I was happy
Red Helen Swallowtail, モンキアゲハ
Near a shrine some orchids were in full bloom
Siebold's Hardy Orchid, キエビネ
In the cherry blossom trees it we saw many caterpillars, often dangling on a thread, then clinging to our clothes, some ending up in the car. Most were those smooth green ones that birds like to feed to their young. This one below caught my eye with its fine hairs, lit up in the sunlight.
noctuid or "owlet"ヤガ上科
A moth that looked familiar, yet the colors were off. Is it a kind of Tomoe?
Macrauzata, スカシカギバ
