Yesterday it was about a fly on a yellow cosmos and today it's about a longheaded locust (Atractomorpha lata). As almost all flowers are gone but yellow cosmoses in my neighborhood because of the recent heatwave, the cosmoses may be the only place for bugs to rest now. The locust's Japanese name is "Ombu batta," meaning piggybacking grasshoppers because their females are often seen piggybacking the males (not vice versa!). I want to see such a couple someday!

昨日は蠅、今日はオンブバッタ（負飛蝗）です。あまりの暑さで虫の休み場所もキバナコスモスぐらいしかないようです。メスがオスをおんぶしているのがオンブバッタの名の由来だそうです。見てみたい！
