This time, I introduce "蛍（螢）"

This season of the end of spring, a certain insect attracts popularity in Japan.
The insect which buttocks are pale, and shine.

It is a firefly.

A firefly can live only in a place with pure water.
We were able to watch a firefly in old days in Japanese each place.
However, we can watch it now only in some countries.

This is the firefly which came in my hand.











I hope to leave this "light of life" in the next generation.


Thank you.
See you next time.

All of us are piece of peace.
