    Marking and recapture surveys of Chestnut Tiger, Parantica sita (Kollar, [1844]), that began in 1980 in Kagoshima, southern Kyushu, have spread from all over Japan to Taiwan and southeast China, revealing the actual state of seasonal movements of this butterfly. This butterfly moves north by the southwesterly monsoon from spring to early summer (March to June), lives mainly in temperate forests in midsummer (July-August), and moves south by the northeasterly wind in autumn (September to November). This species passes the winter in various non-diapause stages in warm and subtropical regions. This paper summarizes the outline of the seasonal movements, discusses how the moving habit was developed by the spread of this species to the Japanese Islands, and explores the remaining problems.
