Large brown Cicada

Large brown Cicada has a broad head and brownish membranous wing.
They are one of insects on the family Cicadiae.
This insect needs six years for changing to an imago from its egg.
Whenever I hear its song and look its sight in summer I remember boyhood with nostalgia.
This picture was drawing with a pencil and very pale brown watercolor.
（from my memories note)

A butterfly

This butterfly is Argyreus hyperbius hyperbius L.(TSUMAGUROHYOUMON).
This butterfly was bred by Ms.M, and it was drew by Nickelbird last year.


The distribution region of this species is lengthened north by the influence of Global warming.
In fact, about 15 years ago, it was not able to see in Kanto.

I had luckly meeting to there generate in large quantities in Ninomiya City Kanagawa last year.

Ladybirds

Today's drawing are ladybirds.
I went to observation of birds to Point Pelee of Canada in May, 2004.
Then, I found big ladybird. It became clear that it is Milkweed leaf beetle later.
On the right, it’s Southern lady bird that was introduced
and they have many variations on spot mark.
