A bleeding tree

The sap of copse trees must be quite special. There are so many different insects that come for a feed. It's worth a blog post.

The butterfly below had me fooled. It's not the 5-ringed, but a Hikagechou, ヒカゲチョウ

Many Drone Beetles, カナブン come and go, making that buzzing sound that they are named for.
Here they surround a couple of Hirata Stag Beetles, ヒラタクワガタ

The big male shields the smaller female and keeps the other beetles at bay, so the lady can have a good feed. She has to produce eggs, so she needs it.

Note how he keeps his legs on her. Affectionate

The female briefly all by herself

This insect I don't know. Looks like a wasp with a funny tail
