花香鳥語：沾邊裙弄蝶

放大圖片

　•辨認三部曲：a.外形細小，翅膀平放時，兩翅尖端相距約4厘米；b.後翅翅背深褐色，下端大片白色，並有數個大黑斑。牠生活在樹林內的陰暗地方，可見於4月至11月，由於飛行快速，所以很難接近。

　•似蛾非蛾：一般的蝴蝶在靜止時，翅膀是摺合豎起的，但沾邊裙弄蝶的翅膀卻是平放的。而且，相比起大部分的蝴蝶，牠的軀體較肥大，所以看起來像隻蛾！

Water Snow Flat

　•The Water Snow flat is a small butterfly, with a wingspan of about 4 cm. The upper hindwings are dark brown and the lower parts are white, with large black spots. The Water Snow Flat lives along shady paths in lowland forests. You can see it from April to November. As it flies fast, the Water Snow Flat is hard to see close up.

　•A moth lookalike:Most butterflies close their wings when resting. However, Water Snow Flats lay their wings flat while resting, as moths do. This, together with its large body, makes it look very like a moth. 　　資料：漁護署
