高知大学農林海洋科学部の生態学セミナーで発表の機会を頂き、初めての四国へ行ってきました。

私の蛾の実験について、学生の皆さんの生態学の研究について、そして科学コミュニケーションの実践について、じっくりと議論した充実の2日間。昆虫の研究が面白くてたまらない、という研究室の熱気に、私自身大いに刺激を受けて、楽しかったです（ご一緒したカツオもとてもおいしかった）。 皆さん大変お世話になりました！

2日目の午前は、念願の高知県立牧野植物園へ。 あまりの広大さに半分も回れませんでしたが、植物たちの展示・管理の丁寧さはもちろん、子供向け講座スペースまで準備された、研究施設としての充実ぶりにも驚かされました（私は南国の虫探しに夢中でしたが）。 写真はタイワンニンジンボク Vitex negundo で吸蜜するアオスジアゲハ Graphium sarpedon 。

A Puddling Jewel

This bluebottle was too preoccupied with extracting minerals and other essential nutrients from a small trail side puddle to bother about our presence. The camera was lowered to its level, nearly on the ground, for this shot.
