Parnassius citrinarius is rather common in Japan. It appears once in spring chiefly from April to May. In Japan three Parnassius species are found. Among them this species has the largest distribution from Hokkaido to Honshu, Shikoku. It can be seen from small hill near town to high mountains. It flies gracefully near the ground and often visits various flowers.
