Bugging Out in the Afternoon
The rainy season comes and goes. Listening to the weather report is about as accurate if I was on TV making the weather predictions. They say it will rain and it doesn’t. The next forecast is for sunny skies and as I can hear the window being pelted with strong rain and wind.
It was yesterday in a break in the rain with some gray clouds overhead that I spotted this wonder from the insect kingdom. He had lovely zebra striping with antenna that were as large as it’s entire body. I had never seen one like this before. He had no fear as I was able to get my lens so close that the antenna actually brushed my fingers.
I just never know what one day will bring. I spent so much time in Japan, and still little surprises are there for me. It was a nice end, to be able to bug out in the afternoon with this guy.
Note:
Thanks to my friend Tomo, I now know the name of this wonder: Citrus long-horned beetle, ゴマダラカミキリ
