Tagiades japetus
''Tagiades japetus'', commonly known as the Pied Flat or the Common Snow Flat, is a species of spread-winged skipper butterfly belonging to the family Hesperiidae. It has a wide distribution range, being found from India, the Himalayas, Southeast Asia, to Australia. It contains twenty-four recognized subspecies.
==Life cycle and ecology==
The eggs are laid on the upper surface of young leaves. They hatch in about six days, whereupon they will construct a leaf shelter by cutting the edge of a leaf, folding a triangular piece back, and then attaching it with silk. During the day, they hide under this shelter and only emerge at night to feed. The larvae feed on leaves of vines belonging to the genus ''Dioscorea''; including ''Dioscorea transversa'', ''Dioscorea alata'', and ''Dioscorea numularia''. They may make other shelters as they grow larger. After about 23 days, they pupate inside their final shelter, emerging as adults after 10 days. The adults are quick flyers, maintaining a height relatively close to ground. They are usually encountered resting underneath leaf surfaces. They feed on nectar from flowers during the morning. Mating is not seasonal and adults emerge all throughout the year. However, the population is greatest during the wet season.
