フィールド日記

共生の森のまわりでササキリを見つけました。ホシササキリやオナガササキリなど明るい環境を好む他のササキリのなかまに比べ、林縁など薄暗い環境でよく見られます。名前の通り、ササ類を好みます。

I found a "Sasa-Kiri (ササキリ)" cricket around the Kyoseinomori-Forest (共生の森). Compared to other crickets in the same group such as "Hoshi-Sasakiri (ホシササキリ)" and "Onaga-sasakiri (オナガササキリ)" crickets, which prefer bright enviroments, they are more often seen in dark environments such as forest edges. "Sasa (ササ)" in its name means "Sasa" plants and "Sasa-Kiri" literally prefer eating Sasa plants.
