Biological Science and General Biology
Butterflies that dance beautifully from flower to flower are familiar to us. Many people used to catch them with insect nets and were fascinated by how they emerged. However, 72 species out of about 240 native Japanese species are listed on the Red List published by the Ministry of the Environment. In recent years, there have been more opportunities to learn about the symbiotic relationship between insects and plants by introducing "butterfly gardens" into schools and homes from the perspective of environmental education. There are cabbage fields and white clover, which remind us of spring and summer, but some of them change the color and pattern of their wings as the season changes. For example, the Sakahachicho is a different species with orange markings on a black base in the spring type, but in the summer type, the orange color disappears and white lines appear as a band. In addition, there are species such as the Kitakicho, whose blue color deepens as the Yamato Freshwater Clam gets colder and the markings become thinner, and there are species such as the Asian comma butterfly that overwinter as adults. You do not see such figures unless you actually go to the field. In this book, the author, an entomophotographer and researcher, introduces butterflies he meets in the field in each season with beautiful photographs and realistic sentences. Many illustrated books specialized in identification have been published, but in this book, you can enjoy the viewpoint of the author who is only taking pictures of butterflies living in the field by taking vivid pictures of living creatures and landscape pictures of butterflies flying around in the field with a sense of sunshine. It begins in April.
