Himebotaru (Series)
DESCRIPTION
"Himebotaru" is a small firefly that lives in the forest and has a body length of about 6 mm.
On summer nights, they fly in the light.
I have been researching this firefly habitat for eight years and taking pictures.
The shooting location is 10 to 30 minutes by car from my house, and I shoot every night in June and July.
I take all the photos with a single shutter, not composite.
