Cultural note from the author:

All the bugs in this book were photographed from various places in Japan. Compared to my childhood, there are not as many bugs around now, especially in the cities. However, I hope that seeing these in this book will encourage you to look for bugs sometimes. You can find them anywhere if you really look for them!
