[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This butterfly's color is different by the male and the female.
Male has orange wings and female has wings with black and white belt ahead.

They lived in the south of Japan originally and did not exist in Tokyo.
However, They came to live in around 1980's.
Distribution has been expanded further because of recent Global warming.

Japanese name is "Tsuma-guro-hyoumon".
It means "Leopard print with black edge".

Hello Yasushi,
both, female and male of hyperbius are shown with high clarity and sharpness.
A really nice introduction of this species by your collage.
Best wishes, Peter

Very interesting to see the male and female of this species with so big differences. Both pictures are well taken with good sharpness and natural colours.
Thanks
