Whenever I'm waiting for birds, or just walking around to get some fresh air, small stuff always get my attention. You might not always like it, but insects are a very important part of nature. And they can be quite interesting! I was pleased to see the Akagi Kamemushi Shield bug, アカギカメムシ on Akame Gashiwa, アカメガシワ (East Asian Mallotus)
Many ochre coloured beetles were gathered on this one small Mallotus tree. Some clustered together, others wandering off by them self.
Some clusters of these brightly coloured bugs were clinging to a single leaf that swayed in the wind.

A young beetle. The dark spots come later, I was told
Below a Mantis, カマキリ. It looks so fresh, like a young leaf. It just got hatched I think.
Here also a Mantis, with an interesting pattern on its back and a glassy looking face
