ABOUT
About Blue Glassy Tiger
A milkweed butterfly with pale blue markings, gliding gracefully and unhurriedly through the air. Found from Amami Oshima southward, its larvae feed on Marsdenia tinctoria. On winter days when the temperature drops below 15°C, hundreds can be seen clustering together to overwinter in the forests of the island's valleys — a well-known winter scene on Amami Oshima.
