黄立羽[Kitateha] Polygonia c-aureum

黄[Ki] : Yellow

立[Tate] : 立てる[Tateru], to stand up, to erect

羽[Ha] : Wing

立羽 is 立羽蝶[Tatehachō], which means Brush-footed butterfly(Nymphalinae). Tateha is so named because it folds its wings and puts them up when perching on something. The length of the forewings is about three centimeters, and it is a common species. 蝶 means butterfly. It is 野紺菊[Nokongiku](Aster microcephalus var. ovatus) that Kitateha is perching on.

芥川龍之介[Akutagawa Ryūnosuke] wrote the following in the short story 羅生門[Rashōmon]. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rashōmon_(short_story)

どうにもならない事を、どうにかするためには、手段を選んでいる遑はない。

[Dō nimo naranai koto wo, dō nika suru tame niwa, shudan wo erande iru itoma wa nai.] There is no time to choose the means to deal with things that cannot be helped. Source: https://www.aozora.gr.jp/cards/000879/files/127_15260.html

It is possible to do that because humans are creatures that can move on their own. Plants, on the other hand, accept every situation as it is, and, 禅[Zen] has something in common with this.

In the winter of 1828, when a major earthquake hit Sanjō, Echigo Province (Niigata Prefecture today), Zen monk 良寛[Ryōkan](1758 - 1831) wrote the following in a letter to a stricken friend. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ryōkan

災難に逢ふ時節には災難に逢ふがよく候 死ぬる時節には死ぬがよく候 是は(これ)災難をのがるゝ妙法にて候

[Sainan ni au jisetsu niwa sainan ni au ga yoku sōrō Shinuru jisetsu niwa shinu ga yoku sōrō Kore wa (kore) sainan wo nogaruru myōho nite sōrō] When calamity strikes, it is good to be in calamity When the time is appropriate to die, it is good to die This is the excellent method of escaping from calamity Source: https://dl.ndl.go.jp/pid/957395/1/140

He also wrote the following poem.

花󠄁無心招蝶、蝶無心尋󠄁花󠄁、花󠄁開時蝶來、蝶來時花󠄁開、吾亦不知人、人亦不知吾、不知從帝則

[Hana wa mushin nishite chō wo maneki, chō wa mushin nishite hana wo tazunu. Hana hiraku toki chō kitari, chō kitaru toki hana hiraku. Ware mata hito wo shirazu, hito mata ware wo shirazu, shirazushite teisoku ni shitagau.] A flower mindlessly invites a butterfly, a butterfly mindlessly visits a flower. When the flower blooms the butterfly comes, when the butterfly comes the flower blooms. I do not know what is in people's heart, people do not know what is in my heart either. Unknowingly I follow the natural order of things. Source: https://dl.ndl.go.jp/pid/968898/1/210

@mamayaga submitted: Found this pretty caterpillar (???) chilling on the wall by my front door. I'm not sure what it's supposed to be though. Barely a pinky's length. The brown-ish spots are actually orange irl but my phone camera didn't pick it up. Would appreciate it if anyone can help ID this lil guy

Location: [removed] (omit please)

It's a butterfly caterpillar and probably in the sub-family Nymphalinae, so things like checkerspots and fritillaries. But I can't say exactly which species. Still a cute friend :)

Qui est qui ? Le Robert-le-diable et la Vanesse des pariétaires

See on Scoop.it - Les Colocs du jardin

"En ce mois d’octobre, alors que l’automne s’installe doucement et que la nature se pare de ses teintes dorées et cuivrées, les papillons semblent entrer en résonance avec cette saison de transition. Parmi eux, le Robert-le-diable et la Vanesse des pariétaires, qui appartiennent à la famille des Nymphalinae, une sous-famille des Nymphalidés."
