This unusual caterpillar could have fooled me, thinking: "What is a dried-up leaf doing on this bit of grass with no trees around?"

There were so many of these caterpillars hanging on to varies plands among the grass at the river bank. Some butterflies were darting around, male and female. Producing more eggs?
The next day the field had been mowed. 😢 I hope the butterflies will try again!

Leaving the best for last.
As I was walking past this Celtis sinensis tree (エノキ) I wondered for the umptieth time if there would be any Tamamushi jewel beetles in there. Quickly abandoning the search as usual because they would only be high up on the top leaves, I was told. Then I just trained my bino's up there. (why?)
There it is!
