Ground cherry is a representative plant of summer, in Japan.
I made the small winged insect at underside of a leaf that can avoid strong sunshine.
Japanese buddhist event "Obon", we display the Ground cherry.
Ground cherry is considered that ancestral soul is guided by it's red fruit like a lantern, and stay there.
So I made the small winged insect that looks like to the spirit.
