That is one big bug. Although moths aren't high on my list, I do like bugs. My favorites are beetles.

All things, that have been discovered, are classified into orders, suborders, families...and so on. The names are usually based on Latin or Greek. For example, beetles are of the order Coleoptera. So they are called Coleopterids. A person who studies beetles is a Coleopterist.

Sometimes I wish I had become an entomologist.  

I'm really looking forward to autumn! I long for fall the way some people long for the summer. I guess it's because I'm originally from South Florida. South Florida is a tropical state in the USA. The weather there is a similar to Okinawa. Perhaps even hotter! Unfortunately due to the climate we don't get season changes. The Florida leaves stay the same, maybe it is cold for a day or a week (60 degrees), and people can still walk outside in sandals. Living in the island of Shikoku, I've had the privilege of experiencing real autumn weather! I was able to enjoy weeks of cool breezes, see the leaves turn red and orange, all while surrounded by mountains. This year I'd like to revisit some of my favorite spots in Japan (like Iya Valley) just to stare in awe at the autumn foliage. There is nothing more majestic than a nice cold day in autumn!
