Small stuff in the neighborhood

A pleasant walk in Kanatake before breakfast, while it was still reasonably cool. It seemed a repetition of the week before.

A Yamato Jewel beetle, タマムシ flew down from the tree to a pile of wood where it disappeared. A few minutes later she(?) came out and returned to the top of the trees. Did she lay eggs?







Also recurrent: The Goishi Shijimi, Forest Pierrot, ゴイシシジミ. Not far from where I found the first one. This one seemed a little bigger. There are so many small Gossamer Butterflies around. They are easy to miss.





This year we see many Murasaki Shijimi butterflies, but the one below is a Powdered Oakblue, ムラサキツバメ





There are the plant or tree hoppers again, Aoba Hagoromo, アオバハゴロモ
I like the Latin name: Geisha distinctissima



Some interesting fungi



Spangle, クロアゲハ



ヤナギイチゴハマキモドキ Choreutis spec.
A tiny moth (9mm) belonging to the metalmark moths
