Written by Shu Makita

You can search for insects at any time of the year!

 

Contains 30 representative insects found in Japan every spring, summer, autumn, winter, and season. Insect hunter Manabu Makita, introduces insects, "Where are you?" "How do you catch it?" "The difference between males and females" "Let's keep this way!" This is an easy-to-understand explanation. "Hey-na trivia" such as the origin of the name, the number of types, and unexpected ecology is also posted. The illustration that allows you to feel the breath of insects, such as the habitat and landscape, is by Takufumi Nishikata. By all means, I would like you to go out to search for insects with this book in one hand.
