Small Stuff in May

 It's getting humid and hot - time for small stuff when the birds don't fly.


In spring these Japanese Five-lined Skinks, ニホントカゲ get beautiful colors



Orchid types Sokushinran, ソクシンラン and Cremastra Orchid, サイハイラン



A bit of color, red stink bug アカスジカメムシ



Snails together



Flowers in Imazu, Blue and Yellow Iris; maybe コアヤメ, キショウブ        





Caterpillar of Doguga? I don't know. Better watch out.
I don't remember these kinds of caterpillars from the Netherlands. As a child I often picked them up. they never were a problem. But here... OUCH!!!!





I was looking for shield bugs around Aburagiri trees, but only found this one. ヒメホシカメムシ



Plenty of long slithering creatures here!
Japanese Striped Snake, シマヘビ










Same place: Tiger Keelback, ヤマカガシ



Himerenge, ヒメレンゲ 



Saxifrage, ユキノシタ



Japanese Flash, トラフシジミ  Summer type
