Mt Kuju area part 2: small stuff

Continued from part 1, this post has flowers, insects, fungi etc. Some pretty, some really gruesome!

First at Choojabaru: The beautiful Yamafuji, ヤマフジ (Wisteria brachybotrys) at its best



A new butterfly for me: Miyama Seseri, ミヤマセセリ ♀


 ♂





Japanese Labyrinth, ヤマキマダラヒカゲ



Mitsuba Akebi, ミツバアケビ





Viola spec, maybe ツボスミレ (Viola verecunda)



モンキチョウ ♀, Eastern Pale Clouded Yellow on a flower who's name I forgot



ハルリンドウ(Gentiana thunbergii)
The flowers are usually blue, but can occasionally be white or pink. It's a challenge to find the Pink  Harurindo Gentian


Yes, Very pink!



The armies of  Silver Dragon, ギンリュウソウ out in full force







At a dark corner: Gin Lan, ギンラン (Cephalanthera erecta)
Erect Cephalanthera, is a species of terrestrial orchid



Kisumire, キスミレ (Viola orientalis)



Asian royal fern (ゼンマイ)





Next at Oike: Many plants, but only 2 in bloom: フタリシズカ Chloranthus serratus



イチリンソウ Anemone nikoensis



Oogikazura? オウギカズラ


Maybe yes



Another orchid!  Oreorchis patens (コケイラン)
Common Oreorchis is a species of orchid native to eastern Asia.





Five-leaf Akebia, ゴヨウアケビ(Akebia x pentaphylla) also known as Chocolate vine



Atsuba moth, キンスジアツ (Colobochyla salicalis)



A big nest of something. On top some creatures that seem to be Caterpillars  (ケムシ)


If you think this looks ghastly, scroll further down...



A more pleasant looking caterpillar  (ケムシ)



What's this? A bright yellow mushroom kind of fungus covered with flies of some sort. Yuck!!!




My first reaction was to turn away in disgust, but curiosity won me over. 





On to the pretty Yuumadara Edashaku, ユウマダラエダシャク (Abraxas miranda)





Another moth it seems, but no name yet





There is that gruesome mushroom again. 



With a Kuroboshi Hiratashidemushi,  クロボシヒラタシデムシ
