The large 'chestnut tiger' (アサギマダラ), a striking butterfly with blue-green marbled wings, feed on fujibakama nectar (and other flowers from the milkweed family).

Depending on the weather the insects appear from April-November, and migrate up to 1000km to their feeding sites!

The first photo trip of this year has been quite fruitful. I'm hoping to have many more such trips this year.
