A night insect observation event will be held at Hatogahara in Hiruzen, Maniwa City, Okayama Prefecture.

In this event, you can observe the ecology of nocturnal insects that cannot usually be seen. Elementary school students and younger must be accompanied by a guardian, and junior high and high school students require transportation to and from the meeting place by a guardian. The participation fee is 100 yen (including insurance). Why not take this opportunity to experience the mysteries of nature at night?
