Ageha chou - Swallowtail

Biroudo kogane?

Hasami-mushi (lit. scissors bug) - Earwig

Semadara kogane - Oriental beetle


Tree climbing toad



Kabutomushi - Rhinoceros beetle (Male)
Someone stomped on him :(


Hmm, I just realized I have no knowledge about moths.

Ni-ni zemi finished molting

Minmin zemi
There are at least five kinds of cicadas in Inokashira park and this is the most annoying one. They sing during the hottest hours of the day and they are very loud. One kind (Higurashi) starts singing in the evening when the temperature gets lower and they are very pleasing to my ears.

Smallest ni-ni zemi I've ever seen

Suji kogane
