1000 Knocks to Overcome Insect Phobia No. 266: Erannis golda Mating!

Today's insect activity - the main event for 20251230.

I did it! I finally saw Erannis golda mating for the first time! I was so thrilled and excited while taking these photos.

They were in a place like this.

A close-up of the male's face. Is he handsome?

Photos were taken with an E-M1 Mark II + M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 60mm F2.8 Macro or M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 12mm F2.0.

I had decided since yesterday that this would be today's note update.

After all, it's my first time seeing Erannis golda mating.

Also, I wanted to check how many 1000 Knocks articles I actually updated this year.

And I was stunned.

I saw them on January 2nd last year. And this was the 4th 1000 Knocks article of this year.

At the beginning of this year, I think I was enthusiastic about updating 100, no, 200, or maybe 300 1000 Knocks articles, but I've forgotten whether the number I was aiming for was 100, 200, or 300💦

Since the first article of this year's 1000 Knocks was No. 176,

although I didn't reach 100, being able to update 91 is still a big deal. Or should I try to get 9 more in the remaining time? (laughs)
