Ecology

They appear in the summer, and become active on sunny days with good weather. They fly around broadleaf forests and eat the leaves of Chinese hackberry, zelkova, and cherry trees.

They are somewhat wary, and will fly away if a person approaches. Their wing sounds are quite loud.

Habitat

Tama River riverbed

I found it flying along the roadside lined with Japanese walnuts and cherry trees on the Tama River riverbed. They were busy flying from leaf to leaf, and did not stay still for long. When he reached the trunk of the tree, he stalked off and was out of sight.
