ジムグリは地味。カタバミに完全に負けた。
Japanese forest rat snake is sober. He is soberer according to the existence of the oxalis.

ジムグリは背景に溶け込み、その身を守る。カタバミは目立ち、虫に花粉を運んでほしい。目的が全く逆なのだから、当たり前といえば当たり前だ。
Japanese forest rat snake protects the body by assimilating into the background. The oxalis attracts the insect’s attention remarkably and wants the pollen to progress. Their purposes are quite different.

ジムグリは、小さく毒もない。目立たずに、生きていければそれでいい。
Japanese forest rat snake is small and not have venoms. It is good if he can make a living without being conspicuous.
