スミレの仲間と思われる植物が歩道のスキマに並んでいた。
片方はツマグロヒョウモンの幼虫に食べられたのか、葉っぱ全体が虫食い状態のよう。このスミレを見つけた時、数日前に出会ったツマグロヒョウモン を思い出した。
その右隣のスミレは無事で、タネが出来ていて触ったら地面にこぼれていった。
来春の準備は万全、着々。
→と思っていたら、草刈り作業ののち、二つとも姿を消していた・・・。タネは無事だったかな・・・。
Two of violet have been living together on the pavement. On the left hand side, it would have been eaten by a caterpillar of Argyreus hyperbius. It reminded me of the Argyreus hyperbius who I met a few days ago.
On the right hand side, it seemed to be OK, it got some seeds. When I touched them, they dropped on the ground.
They have been succeded to prepare to next year.
→Around a few days later, after cutting grasses in neighbourhood, they were gone. I hope their seeds were safe and will come out of the ground next spring.
