②昆虫について
I used to take care of some ants in a transparent case. Because I could see the making scene of their nest clearly.
It was so interesting.
I like not only mantises,but also ants, dragonflies,butterflies,and beetles.
But I don't like to make a specimen of them.
As I like insects, I don't want to kill them intentionally.
