Learn the animal names while separating visible locations from audible sounds.
Where a bee is
蜂, read はち, refers to a bee or wasp. 花の近くに蜂がいます。 says that one is near a flower.
蜂が花に止まりました。 says that it landed on a flower. The sentence does not include stinging a person.
A mosquito's sound
蚊, read か, means mosquito. 耳の近くで蚊の音がしました。 says that a mosquito's sound was heard near the ear.
蚊を一匹見つけました。 means finding one mosquito. Finding one does not establish the total present.
Searching and observing
蜂を探しましたが、見つかりませんでした。 says that someone looked for a bee or wasp but did not find one. It does not prove that none were present.
蚊の音は聞こえましたが、姿は見えませんでした。 says that the mosquito's sound was audible but the mosquito was not visible. Separate the two sensory outcomes.
Does 蜂が花に止まりました mean that the insect stung a person?
Show the answer and why
