Blog#6: Aosuji ageha

 I'm very sorry. Some troubles was  happened, it was not correctly reflect the blog #6.


 Hi ,I'm Ayako Kawanaka.
 I saw a little rare butterfly. Do you know "Aosuji ageha"? It's a kinds of  butterfly. It has beautiful blue line wings, so it calls "Aosuji ageha". Forewing length of adults is about 32-45mm. We can often seen around the city, parks, street trees.



 I found it at Meiji-jingu in Harajyuku. Meiji-jingu has many kinds of trees. Not only this butterfly, but also many kinds of insects and animals are living.

                                                                            ↑This is the gate of Meihi-jingu.



 Aosuji ageha has high flight ability and often rapidly hopping around the trees and flowers. When I found it, it stayed quietly on the leaves.  I thought that"It's chance!". So I took this photograph.
 Aosuji ageha's  charm is in the beauty of the wings. Some time, male  gathered in the puddle andsucks the water in summer. 
 I have ever seen it in my hometown, but this is the first time I saw it in Tokyo. Nature still remains a lot in urban! If you find the butterfly, let's talk about it! You must be like this butterfly.!

  4. This is Ms. MacGregor. I have seen these butterflies before. You were lucky to have been able to take such a good photograph. I enjoy looking at butterflies flying around along the path I take beside Sengawa river when I go for a walk in the early morning. Butterflies look free, innocent and beautiful.

  6. Hi, Ayako!
    Actually, I don't like insects very much. However, I like "Aosuji ageha", because it is beautiful. I sometimes see it near my house.
    By the way, I've never been to Meiji-jingu, so I want to go there. If I go there, I will meet much nature and many "Aosuji ageha"!
