ホタルを守れ！

I went to Takebana Riverside Park here in Funahashi Village with my students last month. We caught fireflies together. We brought nets and flashlights. My students taught me a lot about fireflies. They taught me that there are two types of fireflies. They also taught me the difference between male and female fireflies. They told me that cleaning the river is very important for the fireflies to live. A few years ago, there were only very few fireflies in the park. Now, there are more fireflies every year in the park because they cleaned it. If you want to see fireflies, you should visit the park in May or June. It’s best to go there at 8 pm.
