fukdane 2 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 I wish I lived in a place with so much wildlife outside my door. Used to but not now. I miss it. Link to post Share on other sites

Tubby Beaver 209 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 When I walked my dog the other day by the rice fields a stray firefly actually flu onto my hand briefly before going its own way. That was a really cool experience, although every year we see them flying around the river behind our house this was the first time to have one touch me. I've carried a firefly home on my finger to show the missus before. It was well over a kilometer. thats a big firefly!! Link to post Share on other sites

muikabochi 208 Posted June 27, 2012 Author Share Posted June 27, 2012 Lots of fireflys out now every evening. Rode past the "Hotaru no sato" and there were a few coaches of people there. Last night was beautiful. Still fairly light at 7:30pm and not a cloud in the sky. Lovely. Link to post Share on other sites

muikabochi 208 Posted July 7, 2012 Author Share Posted July 7, 2012 Went for a 2km walk tonight in the heavy rain. Took the torch. Boring and so decided to count the frogs on the road. This is a back road and no cars passed me during the walk. I counted over.... 1000! frogs! Link to post Share on other sites

cal 6 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Sunds like its a good job they hop onto the road and get squashed, otherwise we'd be overrun with frogs! Link to post Share on other sites
