June is the beginning of the flight of Mimathyma schrenckii, named in honor of the 19th century ethnographer L. Schrenck who discovered it. It inhabits the Lower Amur, Primorsky and Middle Amur Regions, as well as Korea. Forage plants are hornbeam and elm. Usually these butterflies live high in tree crowns and come down to water bodies only on hot days.
