From this post, several movie files of Japanese butterfly which tells the spring will be introduced. The first one is Asian Duskywing (Erynnis montanus). This species is found from almost everywhere in Japan except southernmost islands. It appears only in early spring. Many people must mistake this dull-colored skipper for the kind of moth because it usually settles with wings open flat. Larval hostplant is Fagaceae. The butterfly filmed in this video should be a female because its forewings have creamy bands.
