庭に大きな樫の木がいくつかある
直径50~80cmぐらい
夏になると特定の木だけが蜜を出す
そこに群がるのは様々な昆虫
カブトムシ、クワガタ、コガネムシ
蜂類、蟻、ハエ、・・・
ずっと観察していると
蜜にありついた昆虫は一心不乱にずっと張り付いている
蟻だけはちょこまかと動き回っているが
接写カメラで1cmに近づいてもまず気がつかないほど夢中に
そして各種間で同族間で熾烈なポジション争い
まるで人間が資源、権力、資産、税金に群がるように
Honeydew of some oak tree in the yard where I live attracts plenty of insects like beetles, summer insects, bees, ants, flies every summer at the specific points. Observing them for a while is very interesting. Few of them would not mind or recognize being photoed very closely as 1 cm, as they are deeply in love with honeydew. Don't you think it is quite similar to the greedy people, companies, institutions or nations behavior for human honeydew of natural resources, powers, money and taxes?
