ハンミョウ Japanese Tiger Beetle
Exactly one year ago today, I saw a Japanese tiger beetle for the first time. But recently I haven't seen any. I always see them around the same place. I wonder why there haven't been any there recently. There are a lot more frogs than usual in that area this year. I wonder if they ate the Japanese tiger beetles. However, they are really fast. There are also a lot of huge dragonflies there this year too. Today, I saw a dragonfly catch another insect that had just taken off mid-air and eat it. I wonder if the Japanese tiger beetles were eaten by the dragonflies. Just when I was thinking today was no good too, I saw one. Yes! I took my time and observed it. I'm pretty happy with today's results.
I managed to get a video of the Japanese tiger beetles too. It appeared that a lot of little insects were attracted to it. And it seemed to me that it was eating those little insects. Have a look for yourself.
次回、ハンミョウをつかまえて男性の幼児の授業で教材として使いたいと思います。
色、綺麗、醜い、速い、などの英語を使えそうです。
To wrap things up, I finally found a Japanese tiger beetle and observed it.
Next time I want to catch one and use it for kindergarten boy's English study.
Can practice colors and words like beautiful, ugly, fast, and so on, with it.
