Lots of Hummingbird Hawkmoths are visiting the flowers this October. They can be seen hovering and sucking nectar from flowers using proboscis. There are several kinds, but I like to look at these 2
The first one, Pellucid Hawk moth オオスカシバ with clear wings
The 2nd, very common, Burnt-spot Hummingbird Hawkmoth, ホシホウジャク, Macroglossum pyrrhosticta
I'm adding a mushroom here, the magnificent Parasol mushroom, カラカサタケ, Macrolepiota procera
Last, a species of Snoutbean, Rhynchosia volubilis, タンキリマメ with shiny beans, that look like they've been polished daily
