Soundlessly...

Larose Forest

A haiku by the Japanese poet Ransetsu,who lived between 1654 and 1707. I believe this translation is by RH Blyth. This is a Lochmaeus sp in the Prominent Moths family. The head is on the right; it is heading down the leaf. Obviously this is not a rice plant!

extraordinary clarity delineates it so well...thought it was going downhill as the dual exhaust pipes are visible on the left..
