The butterfly that goes over the sea takes a rest floating on the sea surface.






Chestnut tiger (Parantica sita) is famous as a travelling butterfly at sometimes as much as 2000㎞ distance. 
As the feather of the butterfly is covered by phosphorus powder, water is repelled. 
Then, it takes a rest with attaching one of the two feathers to the sea surface.
