On September 20th a group of 10 people walked around to find things of interest. It was partly cloudy and sunny and rather hot. As expected. We talked and walked, peered and gazed and took many photos.
A favorite: Caterpillar of Dark Evening Brown, クロコノマチョウ 幼虫

I watched something crawling out of a white sponge-like mass. Maybe larvae of moths? They went airborne in a few minutes. Better keep a distance!
A fair number of young Barn Swallows, ツバメ are hanging around, mostly sitting on the wires. When will they leave?
