長い長い水中生活から、大空へ初フライト!
日本最大のトンボ、オニヤンマ。
眼は宝石のエメラルドのように美しくかがやき、力強く空を飛びます。
オニヤンマが見られるのは、緑が濃い森林と澄んだ小川がある環境。
そんな自然が残された人里があれば出会えるトンボです。
オスは元気なうちは常にほかのオスと戦い、メスを探して交尾に挑みます。
メスは何度も交尾と産卵を繰り返し、多くのオスたちの子孫を数千個の卵に託すのです。
産み落とされた卵から誕生した小さな幼虫は、様々な小さな生物を食べて成長していきます。
そして、幼虫自身もほかの生物に食べられてしまいます。
過酷な生存競争の中で生き残ったわずかな幼虫は、長い水中生活を経て成虫へと変身します。
いよいよ初フライトの瞬間です!!
卵から成虫まで、オニヤンマのくらしをとらえた写真絵本です。

Are items authentic?
Our sellers' agreement fully compels all stores to list only authentic items. We help you buy exclusive and authentic items from Japan, online!

Do you ship to my country?
We ship to all countries where Japan Post air freight services and international couriers currently operate. We don't use surface mail.

How long does shipping take?
Domestic shipments generally reach our warehouse in a few days, but may in certain specific cases take a week or more. International shipments can take anywhere from several days to several weeks to reach you after leaving our warehouse, depending on if you choose Standard or Express shipping.
Please contact our support team from the Questions section on your account page if you have any questions about the timing of your parcel.

How much is shipping?
Shipping costs depend on the size, weight, and destination of your parcel. We provide shipping costs for your order at checkout.

Will I be charged a customs (import) fee?
It depends on your country and its customs regulations. Our service does not cover duties and import taxes — in general, if the customs office in your country applies charges to your package, you are required to pay them.
