庭の紹介

 夫婦で庭づくりを福岡の郊外で2003年に始めました. 赤土むきだしの斜面にまず階段や園路をつくって芝をはり、果樹やバラ、ハーブなどを植えました.
 2010年にイギリスの有名なガーデンの、シシングハースト、モティスフォントアビー、ヒドコートマナーなどを回り、その素晴らしさに圧倒され、それから自分たちで小さくても素晴らしい庭をめざして庭づくりをつづけています.

WHITE HAIRY LARVAE OF BLACK PSEUDO-BUTTERFLY

There were white hairy larvae on the underside of the tree (Benthamidia japonica).

Pure white color of its hairy appendices

A Benthamidia japonica tree with four-petaled white flowers in June.


It is quite difficult to determine which side is a head or tail.  It is a larva of a black butterfly-like moth.  It is unimaginable that this white larva become a black 'butterfly'.  


The moth 'Epicopeia hainesii' looks like a butterfly

Tour of France 2014 finished this morning, and Italy's Vincenzo Nibali won.  
I broke my own record of 180 kCal during 30 minute-aerobike training machine several days ago when I was watching the race.
