奥日光の昆虫


雪解けと、森の中での新しい植物の芽吹きは、奥日光の昆虫たちが活動を始める合図です。5月下旬には、色とりどりの蝶や、トンボ、カミキリムシなどが姿を現します。エゾハルゼミは春から初夏にかけてその鳴き声を聞くことができます。


一方残念なことに、環境の変化やシカの食害により昔はいたオオイチモンジやコヒョウモンモドキは奧日光から姿を消してしまいました。

Insects in Oku-Nikko


The melting snow and new buds in the forests signal the beginning of new insect activity in Oku-Nikko. Insects including colorful butterflies, dragonflies, and longhorn beetles make their appearance in late May. The Japanese spring cicada (Terpnosia nigricosta) can be heard singing between spring and early summer. Unfortunately, due to environmental changes and damage from deer, insects such as the poplar admiral (Limenitis populi) and the Kohyomommodoki (Mellicta ambigua niphona) butterflies are no longer found here.
