This is the first butterfly photograph I took this year.
This one was basking in the sun when I got this photo.
Oh, I remembered that this one was also flying near a hackberry tree which is the food plant of its larvae.
And I also found butterflies larvae of O-murasaki(Japanese Emperor) and Gomadara-cho at the root of the tree.
This plant has many yellow flowers from spring to early summer.
It looks like this plant is sensitive to hot.
And therefore this plant is a kind of biennial plant in Japan.
This plant is a kind of dandelion.
And this species is common all over the world.
We can see its flowers all year around except for severe winter.
This dandelion is unique. This species has white flowers. And our native species.
This plant has many very small white flowers on spring.
This one is to be food for larvae of a kind of small butterfly "Tsumaki-cho".
Native species.
Alien species from Eurasia.
