October 18th – October 22nd, 2024 is Autumn – KANRO (Cold dew)-51st KOU “Crickets chirp around the door.”
KANRO is coming to an end and it’s getting quite cool. The chirps of insects have become much quieter. It’s about time for them to stop chirping, isn’t it?
Of all the grasshoppers in my neighborhood, the most common one I can see until late autumn is crickets. However, even on a calm and warm day, they hide under fallen leaves and stay still, so it’s hard to find them right away. If I try to catch them, they’ll escape while turning the leaves over.
By the way, praying mantises make an appearance in my house several times every year, but I haven’t seen any this year.
In place of that? I found a praying mantis crossing the road. They don’t run away. Move quick or I can catch you ^o^/
