Bugs of Japan

I couldn't resist....

These guys are some type of damselflies.  Aren't they cute sitting there on the leaves? They have black wings <3
A local elementary school is participating in a study with the Museum of Nature and Human Activities, Hyogo.
The 4th graders catch them, mark them and release. Then the researchers can see where they've been flying!

Can I ask what you're doing in Japan? (O.o)

hahaha, for the summer I'm in a research program and I'm doing some stuff with small environmental groups that try to protect fireflies :)
But I like bugs in general ;)

hehe, yeah, I think way more people like bugs in Japan. I haven't seen the giant cockroach yet, but I definitely see small ones in our dorm building.... EW!
