久しぶりにヤエヤマボタル

夕方まで雨が降り、気温も25℃あったので、ヤエヤマボタルの大発生が期待できるので行ってきました。

Firefly (Yaeyama Firefly / Yellow-striped Firefly)

The Yaeyama Firefly put on its biggest emergence of the season. ^^ The glowing periods were quite long too.

It was a muggy night, and on the way back a huge Japanese Giant Centipede — body length of around 20 cm — also appeared. ^^;
