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

I went to observation of birds to Point Pelee of Canada in May, 2004.

On the right, it’s Southern lady bird that was introduced
and they have many variations on spot mark.

However, I think that this one is better than another pelican in design.
