So small! Nice capture.
Thank you Leuba! These clams gain a lot of attention in Japan as being a miraculous animal. Many people in Japan believe if you eat them they will strengthen your liver and cure hangovers. They are delicious and remarkable creatures anyway.
Lovely but dangerous. It is nice you can see the white cotton mouth though! Hope nobody got hurt.
Thank you joanbstanley!
In Japan these are called "bowing grass" because it looks like they are bowing when you touch them. Nice!
Splendid capture of a wonderful bird!
Believe it or not, this is the same species as the other green Japanese tree frog spotting you have. They can change color to grey/brownish for protection. See the link below:
