オサンポ take a walk - 虫 insect 蝉 cicada

夜風吹く
蝉は羽化を
続けたり

There is a night wind
A cicada is going on emerging
from a pupa

遠くで台風が吹き荒れていて、その影響でここら辺も少し湿っぽい風が吹いていて。何事も無ければ夜中鳴いている蝉タチが多くいるのに、今夜は一匹も鳴いていない。羽化する蝉もこの時期、数匹は見るのに、今夜はやはりこれから雨が降ってくるのか、どうやって察知するのか、雨の気配が濃い日は羽化する蝉を見ない(出くわさないだけかも知れないが)けど、先程一匹だけ挑んでいるのを見かけた。ちょっと前から案の定雨が降ってきて、翅が濡れずに済んだことを祈るのみ。

We've got a typhoon at the faraway place from here, but we've got a wet night wind. If nothing happens, many cicadas are singing through night, but there was none. During summer, I could see a few of cicadas emerging from pupas each night, but tonight, it would be raining here soon, I've no idea that how cicada knows it is going to rain, they avoid raining for their emerging. However, a few hours ago, I found one cicada tried to emerge. At the moment, it is raining... I hope that the cicada's wings haven't got wet, it finished its emerging before started raining.
