We tend to associate insects with late Spring and Summer, but quite a few butterflies, dragonflies, and other insects can be seen here in Shiga Prefecture from late September until early November.
Several species of butterflies and moths were very active in late September and early October. A few remained until late October.
A few Dragonlies were still here in October.

In October locusts and other insects were active along the Yasugawa riverbank.
