Butterflies usually fold wings when resting as opposed to moths, which rest generally with open wings. The common straight swift (Parnara guttata) is a butterfly but sometimes rests with open wings to absorb the warmth of the sun like in the 4th photo.
The common straight swift is called "ichimonji seseri" in Japanese, meaning "straight line skipper" after its white spots in a straight line while small branded swift (Pelopidas mathias), which has white spots in a circle, is called "chabane seseri," meaning "brown wing skipper."

蝶は休むとき羽を閉じ、蛾は閉じると言いますが、イチモンジセセリ(一文字挵)は蝶なのに、時々羽を広げたまま休みます(4枚目)。太陽からの熱を吸収するためとも言われています。イチモンジセセリは白い斑点が一列に並んでいるのでこの名前。対してチャバネセセリ(茶羽挵)は円形に並んでいます。
