貝は大丈夫。カタツムリも許容範囲。ウミウシはかわいい。だけどナメクジは…。というのが多い意見かも。そんな中でも、これは極めつけ。ナメクジの中でも、真っ黒。自分もはじめて見たときすごく驚きました。ここまでマイナスイメージが揃うと、なんか気に入ってしまいました。
The shell is lovely. The snail is a tolerance. The cowfish is lovely. However, slug is unpleasant… These might be your opinions. This photograph might be most unpleasant in slug. It is jet-black slug. When seeing for the first time, I was terribly surprised. When it might be a creature with a lot of negative images, but I have liked it very much.

このヤマコウラナメクジ、実はレッドデータブックにも載っている種類なんです。なかなかお目にかかりにくい種類なのかも知れません。いろいろ調べてみましたが、情報不足でよくわかりません。西日本にしかいない、移入種の可能性がある、実は珍しくもない…。どれも信用しきれませんが、「高山帯近くの湿地にいる」というのは共通していました。そういう意味で私の住んでいた青梅にいてもおかしくはないのでしょう。
Yama-koura-namekuji is this kind recorded in the red data book on Japan. Maybe it isn’t found easily. It has not understood from the dearth of information well though I variously examined. “It is only in West Japan.” “There is a possibility of the import kind.” “It is not unusual.” It is not all information that can finish being trusted. However, “It is in the marsh in the vicinity of the high mountain belt” was common. From such a reason, it might be not amusing even in case of the location of him in Ome where I live.

何故、情報が錯綜するのか?生き物は死にます。それが骨になったり、死体が残ることでたくさんの情報を遺して行きます。しかしナメクジは死んでしまうと、水分が蒸発して死体が残りません。そのため、各地での調査でも「情報不足」で終わるようです。
Why information on him become complicated? The creature dies. They teach us a lot of information by the carcass’s its becoming a bone, and remaining. However, moisture evaporates when dying and the carcass doesn’t remain in slug. Therefore, the investigation in various places often seems to end by “Dearth of information” about slug.

でも、今は携帯電話にもカメラがついている。いろんな人が情報を残せるようになりました。これによって色々な生き物の生息が確認されていくでしょう。私も負けずにカメラで生きるには記録を残さなければ。
However, the camera attaches to the mobile phone now. Various people came to be able to leave information. As a result, living of various creatures will be confirmed.
It is necessary to make a mark for me not to be defeated at everyone and either to live with the camera. I want to take the ecology photographs other than the egg laying time some time. However, I think that the photograph where the charm of the living thing is told is good. I will variously take the photograph.
