Even when I go out, I often don't see the bird I'm looking for. It's not uncommon to have to wait for several hours. At times like these, I find solace in the butterflies, insects, wildflowers, and weeds that come nearby. Before I knew it, my interests had expanded, and I almost never go out without a catch. I'm grateful.

Today, a blogger I always visit posted a rare butterfly called the "Spider Pine Butterfly." He said he tried four times and finally managed to photograph it this time. It was a very beautiful butterfly. I'd like to see it someday. It is said to feed on plants such as the mountain hawthorn, rock hawthorn, and mountain burdock, which grow at altitudes of 1,000 to 2,000 meters.

Unknown: Orange spots can be seen on the lower part of the wings. Swallowtail butterfly? ??? ??? ???

They say it's profitable, but...

When you look at it, it turns out it costs several times as much, so isn't it time to get serious?

There are also voices of opposition to Sapporo's bid for the Olympics.

The Ishin and Komeito parties will probably refuse again.

Osaka Prefecture has said that from now on,

pachinko will only be permitted in integrated resort facilities (Yumeshima IR).

I haven't read the details yet,

but having pachinko parlors near casinos seems like it will encourage gambling addiction.

Will amusement arcades disappear from the city?

If it's for the casino's profits, isn't it putting the cart before the horse?
