Abundantly found on Takuhiyama in Nishinoshima (Dozen) on Aug. 

 25th. The bright green-color of the fore-wing should serve as an effective 

 means of protection against enemies. When at rest, the hind-wing, which 

 is of a bright reddish-brown color, is entirely concealed by the fore-wing, 

 making it difficult to distinguish the insect from a small green leaf. At 

 places the moth was so plentiful that more than half a dozen of it 

 would start from a shrub on being disturbed. In flight the moth displays 

 the brown hind-wing, which is all the more prominent to sight as it 

 suddenly appears on taking wing and again disappers on perching. The 

 moth was seen to fly generally down-hill along the slope. Dragonflies 

 searching for prey would dart after the flying moth, but the instant the 

 latter settled on a shrub the chase was at end.
