After Mt Hiko I drove to Oita, to meet up with the hikers. The season of pink was in full swing. Hikers everywhere. The only bird I saw was a bunting in the wetlands.
Chestnut-eared Bunting, ホオアカ
On to small stuff then. White Admiral, イチモンジチョウ
High Brown Fritillary, ウラギンヒョウモン
Checking the sap producing trees. As expected: many Japanese Labyrinth, ヤマキマダラヒカゲ
2 pretty Scarce Tortoiseshell butterflies, ヒオドシチョウ
Who is that, flying erratically around the sap tree?
Landing in the grass beside me after a few clumsy attempts
What attracts you to my bino's? The smell of my sweaty hands?
On the tree again
Male and female Rhinoceros Beetle, カブトムシ
Four-spotted Sap Beetles, ヨツボシケシキスイ
High Brown Fritillary, ウラギンヒョウモン again
Some flowers I had seen before, but forgot about. iNat says it's East Asian Wintergreen, イチヤクソウ ·
A great day, just before the rain
