ムラサキシャチホコ蛾

わが庭のイラガ

"Purple killer whale moth"。6/30Just before leaving for Shimokita in、Somehow right in front of me。It's my first time seeing a moth。For some reason, this moth seems to be gaining popularity recently.。This curled up dead leaf camouflage painting is certainly modern.、Wonderful three-dimensional expression that puts a bad artist to shame.。Above all, it's cool。That's it、Just before leaving for Shimokita、He came out as if to see me off (though it was also a bit of a creepy send-off)。I also like that it is non-toxic.。シャチホコの名は幼虫がシャチホコのように尻を持ち上げる習慣があるところからきているらしい。ムラサキは高貴の尊称である。この蛾にはもう一度会ってみたい。
