月見がカマキリ見になりました。 Moon Viewing Became Mantis Viewing

September 11, 2011: その他 Miscellaneous

Not the moon, but a mantis.

今の月様は中秋の名月という事で、夕べは姨捨の「田毎の月」の棚田に行ってみました。

残念ながら曇っていて、お月様がみえなかったです。しかし、姨捨駅のホームの投句箱の上にカマキリの昆虫がいました。善光寺平の夜景を眺めている様に見えた。

姨捨は昆虫にも楽しまれている様。

With the moon being in its Harvest Moon stage right now, last night I went to Obasute Station to view the nearby moon-reflecting Obasute terraced rice fields.

Unfortunately it was overcast, so no moon. Instead, I ran into this praying mantis on the Haiku Post box on the station's platform. He (she?) seemed to be enjoying the view of the night lights from the Zenkoji Plain down below.

Even funky insects seem to like Obasute!
