オサンポ walk - 秋、神無月のカマキリ,a mantis October in autumn

秋日暮れ
カマキリに会う
駐輪場

In the autumn evening
I met a mantis
At the bicycle park

おっと、と気が付いた時に、動きが鈍かったのでもしかして踏まれて…る？ と思ったんですがそうではないようで良かったですが、でも何となく弱っている感じだったので、一緒に写っている葉っぱを使ってすぐに近くの植え込みまで運んでみました。カマキリにも外来の波が及んでいるようでお腹が赤いのはいわゆるそれとか。確かめたかったですが、ひっくり返すのをあきらめそこにそのままにして彼(彼女？)の運は天に任せました。

追記: この時に初めて、「そう言えば昆虫がケガした時って、どうしてる？」と思って、軽くネットで検索してみたところ、成虫になってからだと基本"治らない"らしいです。あらま。(幼虫の時であれば、脱皮するときに治る場合もあるとか) そうなのか…ホントにみんな、"一度きり"の人生(昆虫生)なんだと、急に秋になった気温も手伝ってかしみじみ…しましたですよ。

"Oh, is it a mantis?" When I found him(her?), it seemed to be stepped on by a human? It wouldn't have been not, but it looked it would have been sick. I picked him up with the leave that you looked in the photo. I took him onto the bush that was nearby. Nowadays, we've got the same kind of mantises from overseas, they are not good to our local mantises. I'd like to check it out but I gave up to turn him over. I left him on there, just prayed for his good life.

Addition: I've got an idea at that time, it was the first time in my life. "Well, when they, any insects have injured, how do they cure?" I quickly checked it on the internet, I've got some answers from that websites, they said, "Never cure when they are adult". Oh dear. (When they are child yet, then when they exuviate, it might be cured sometimes) Oh, I see... everyone and every creatures, has only on life. I deeply feel something in my mind. The temperature that became "like autumn's" suddenly from today might make me have that feelings.

猫三昧 Cat-loving - 猫ハウス：cats' house

猫の居る
気配だけで
ほんわかする

When I find something
That might belong to cats
I'm happy

二階建ての猫ハウス、ですね？ 都内のとある公園の隣で見つけました。昼間は公園でのんびり過ごし、夜は猫ハウスで寝る。冬や雨や風の強い日でも安心安全。猫たちに直接会えなくても、そうであろうストーリーが想像出来るだけで、うーんと満足です。

It's a two story CAT house, isn't it? I found it at a place where next to the park in Tokyo. I imagine that, two cats spend their time in the park during daytime, then when it's night, they come back to their house. In winter, raining or strong winds, even if it's those hard days, the house provides safety for them. I couldn't meet them, but about the story that I imagined, I could believe it with 100% sure made me satisfied.
