A Common Straight Swift in A Japanese Bindweed ヒルガオで朝ご飯のイチモンジセセリ

Japanese follows English. 英語の後に日本語が続きます。

I took these pictures on my way home from a Catholic church in my neighborhood. I went to the church to participate in a Mass although I'm not a Christian (though I went to Catholic kindergartens). And I was born into a Buddhist family but have never considered myself a Buddhist. You would say I'm an atheist. I may be but I also believe in something greater than ourselves, like Yaoyorozu no Kami, i.e., an infinite number of Gods, or a kind of Shinto which has existed since before Buddhism was introduced into Japan in 538 before being politicized before the war. 

So I went there and sang hymns and went to shrine to pray there, too. Then, I found this common straight swift (Parnara guttata) breakfasting (devouring?) in a Japanese bindweed flower (Calystegia pubescens).

教会からの帰りに撮った写真です。と言ってもキリスト教徒ではありません。と言って別に仏教徒でもない。あえて言えば八百万の神でしょうか。教会の帰り、神社にも寄ってお祈りし、その後に、朝ごはん中のこのイチモンジセセリを発見しました。相当お腹空いていたようです。
