The photo is a moth I saw this week. It’s probably the moth called Monkuro Shachihoko. With its fluffy thorax and pattern of wing like bird’s feather, it’s cute. When I googled the moth name, “eat” was suggested to my surprise. I saw some search results and found that the larvae have a reputation for being pretty yummy among those who enjoy eating insects. Because the larvae are raised on cherry leaves, they smell good like sakuramochi, a sweet rice cake wrapped in a cherry leaf. 今週見かけた蛾（たぶんモンクロシャチホコ）です。胸の部分がフワフワで、翅の模様が鳥の羽みたいで可愛いと思います。 ところで「モンクロシャチホコ」でググってみたらサジェストに「食べる」と出てきてびっくりしました。検索結果を見てみたら、どうやら昆虫食を嗜む方々の間では、この蛾の幼虫はなかなか美味しいと評判のようです。幼虫が桜の葉を食べて育つので、桜餅のような良い香りがするそうです😲
