桑の世界

最近、桑の葉っぱ探しが忙しくて、カイコを毎日計るのができなくて、あっという間に大きくなりました!しかし小さいのもいる。

今日の桑の葉を撮ると、いろいろな面白いものがついていました。もちろん、その一つは桑の実。最近食べられるように紫になっているのでカイコのためだけではなく、私の食事にもなる。

The silkworms are getting larger. Unfortunatly, I have been too busy collecting leaves for them to eat (three times a day!) that I have not had time to measure them. As I was collecting leaves today, I found some interesting creatures sharing the leaves. Of course, the most obvious things on the tree are the berries. As they start to turn a deep purple, I am reluctant to pick banches because I want to come back and harvest them for jam.

葉にこのような面白い虫もついていた。桑に実に似ていると思わない?それが隠れる戦略のかな。

This interesting cluster of bugs looks like a Mulberry to me. I wonder if that is part of their camoflage strategy...

一番気持ち悪いのはこの小さくて白い虫。最近多いのでついてない葉を見つかるとうれしい。
The biggest problem I have now is that these fuzzy white bugs are all over most of the trees. I don't want to put them in with the silkworms, so I feel increasingly lucky to find leaves without their tell-tale white threads.
