Recent small stuff, late September

The worst of the heat is over. Autumn colors are seeping through my blog. There are not many birds at the moment. Many are moulting now, and reluctant to come out and fly. Migration of raptors is underway, but for many small birds it's a quiet time. 


A burst of orange - Ocellated Shield Bug, アカギカメムシ · 







Fluffs of white, moving slowly. Caterpillar of Oriental Swallowtail Moth, アゲハモドキガ幼虫





Looking kind of fresh.  Large Map, サカハチチョウ





Tiny buf. Musha Kuro Tsubame Shijimi, ムシャクロツバメシジミ


Big, but unblemished. Red Helen, モンキアゲハ





The rabit-face of September.
Caterpillar of Dark Evening Brown, クロコノマチョウ 幼虫







Insects are still hatching from their eggs in the rice fields.
Eggs of Stinkbug, カメムシの卵



 Citrus Longhorn, ゴマダラカミキリ  with a problem



The tall halms of grass aren't sturdy enough to let him take-off 


After several tries I let him use my hand, from where he flew straight to a tree branch where he could suck juice. He must have been desperate.

Moth of the Camphor Silkworm, クスサン at night



Contorted Pogonatum Moss, コセイタカスギゴケ



Akebono-so, アケボノソウ



Striped Stag beetle , スジクワガタ



Larvae of the Apple Tussock moth, リンゴドクガ 幼虫





Last part of autumn. One of the hundreds of mushrooms that cover the floor of the woods in any open area, leaning against tree trunks and whatever is left over from them.
