遠くの細道　～　人生最後の10年間の記録

This is a very sorry photo for those who dislike insects. I don't really like it either. 

Adult female of  Pryeria sinica "MINOUSUBA(Japanese)" . Around May, they flock on the leaves in a way that everyone hates. Then, in the hot summer, it sleeps in the form of a pupa, and in late autumn it emerges and copulates. As shown in this photo, a female who has finished laying an egg protects her egg without moving, and after about two weeks, it reaches the end of its life and falls to the ground.

If you think that the ugly appearance and the unpleasant odor are a hard way of life that protects the seeds while connecting the ephemeral life, you may be able to see it with a little gentle eyes.
