"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.。The name of the shachihoko seems to come from the fact that larvae have a habit of lifting their butts like the shachihoko。Murasaki is a noble name。I want to meet this moth again。

*An anonymous person later pointed out that "This is a sparrow."。If you do an image search, it's exactly as you pointed out.。Anonymous、thank you。I'll leave the article as is.、This moth is "Ummon Sparrow"。I will correct it.。

July 4th、Return from Shimokita (I went to Shimokita from June 30th to July 4th)、I stopped by the Aomori Prefectural Aeronautical Science Museum in Misawa City.。Another place on the day、I also visited the Tonami Domain Memorial Tourist Village.。Shuji Terayama Memorial Museum is also nearby.。

Today's topic is Aviation Science Museum。Adjacent to the Air Self-Defense Force Misawa Base by a single fence.。Seen from the science museum、The U.S. military Misawa base is located deep inside the Self-Defense Forces base.。It was around 11 o'clock when I arrived, but (I think) Self-Defense Force F-16s were constantly taking off.、Repeat training such as sharp turns、There was an explosion。

One of the things I wanted to see、Former Army "Type 1 twin-engine advanced training aircraft" that crashed into Lake Towada during a training flight in 1945。September 5, 2012、Raised from the lakebed for the first time in 69 years、Currently on display at the science museum。

Looking at this aircraft pulled up from the bottom of the lake、4The suffering of the boy pilot (17 years old?) who was the only one on board to be rescued.、The surprise of the three people who died、upset、desperation、It's strange that for some reason I feel like I can feel my regret.。I realized once again that I don't want war.。
