Kanatake walk October 18th

 Autumn weather, it's so comfortable. Many people gathered for the walk and enjoyed the cool breeze on a sunny day. I should look for birds, but there are hardly any and my attention wanders to butterflies and other small stuff. Should I change this blog?


The early morning brings cool air


Around 9am, when the sun rises and the world warms up, butterflies start to come out.

White Admiral, イチモンジチョウ





Flowers turn into fruit.   Dumasia truncata, ノササゲ



Amphicarpaea bracteata, ヤブマメ



Winter brambles brighten up the forest フユイチゴ



Wow, this wing! Of the most beautiful moth. サツマニシキ, Erasmia pulchella



And another one. The beauty died right here.



Another moth, alive and well, protected by its camouflage
Eudocima tyrannus, アケビコノハ or Eudocima phalonia, ヒメアケビコノハ?



The Nodake was in bloom at the usual location. And we found one more.
ノダケ, Angelica decursiva



Small and pretty: Lycium chinense, クコの花



Enormous mushroom, don't know what kind



Isodon, ヤマハッカ



Japanese Broad-winged Katydid, サトクダマキモドキ



Looking kind of angry




Way up in the Sugi tree, cocoons? 繭?



Peacock Pansy, タテハモドキ



Female Black Fritillary, メスグロヒョウモン






At last some birds. The Stonechats had arrived. We could see only a few from our walking course, but in fact there was a small flock. Stejneger's Stonechat, ノビタキ
