What is the 72nd ``vegetable butterfly''...

 

 





The season when butterflies turn into insects is when the pupa that survives the cold winter turns into a beautiful butterfly and takes flight. Namushi is a general term for insects that attach to the leaves of radish and turnips, and it often refers to the larvae of the cabbage butterfly.
 

Butterflies flying around in the warm air have been a symbol of immortality since ancient times, and the sight of them emerging from a pupa into a butterfly has evoked images of resurrection and reincarnation. For these reasons, it is said that butterfly motifs were used on the family crests and weapons of Sengoku warlords.
