Mt. Sefuri on July 20th

It was surprisingly cool on the top. The butterfly I came to see was a no show, but other things, the yellow flowers and the great Stag beetle made up for that.


Miyama Stag beetle, ミヤマクワガタ   Lucanus maculifemoratus



A boy captured it, but let it go after a few minutes. We could have a good look.



A flower lady kindly took me to a valley where I would never have gone by myself. After the rain the going was tough, but I managed!

Onikonasubi, オニコナスビ  Lysimachia tashiroi Makino



Yellow sparks in a very dark forest. It was just the right time!







There are no things like rivers or swamps on the ridge of a mountain like Mt Sefuri. Yet these plants seemed healthy to me. 
Round-leaved Sundew, モウセンゴケ  Drosera rotundifolia



Small cicada with distinctive markings: Ezo Cicada, エゾゼミ  Lyristes japonicus



The only butterly worth mentioning: Satsumashijimi, サツマシジミ  Udara albocaerulea





Murasaki Shikibu, ムラサキシキブ



Akushiba, アクシバ  Vaccinium japonicum





Japanese five-lined Skink, ニホントカゲ


Thank you N-san for showing me around and Mr and Ms K for your support!
