Qianjiang Evening News hourly news reporter Shi Wen
During the long holiday, the hourly news reporter went to the clouds and terraces to cut rice, and the tourists next to them exclaimed: There is a butterfly resting on your shoulder!
After a walk around the shoulders, the butterfly fluttered and flew to the back of the hourly reporter's head.
The tourist who helped shoot the small video sighed: "You are so fragrant, butterflies are flying to find you." ”
The word incense certainly doesn't stick to the edge.
The hourly news reporter came to cut rice, climbed the mountain and sweated a stinky sweat, and did not rub rouge gouache before going out in the morning.
"Xiangfei" is definitely not me!
However, later hours of news reporters found that the scene of "real incense" is not only me.
Subsequently, the butterfly pounced on the female tourist who took pictures of the hourly reporter in a daze, and reluctantly rubbed it on the fingertips of people for a long time.
Later, the hourly reporter's female companion was also targeted by butterflies, walking and stopping on her arm, and after some operation, it made the female companion happy like a child.
Butterflies don't like to pounce on people, what kind of black and orange color is this?
Among the biosphere enthusiasts in Hangzhou, there is a retired biology teacher named Lou Xinquan, whose screen name is "Butterfly Flying", and has been holding a camera for many years to capture the beautiful shadows of butterflies in nature.
The hourly news reporter sent photos and videos of encountering sticky butterflies to "Butterfly Fly" for variety identification, and Teacher Lou told me: "This is not a butterfly, it is a big moth!" ”
One sentence shattered the butterfly dreams I waited for.
Such a passionate and beautiful big moth is the first time I have encountered it.
We have all heard of "moths fighting fire", that moths throw people, is it because people emit heat, attract moths closer?
"No, moths don't like light and heat, and moths don't pounce on people." Then, Teacher Lou strongly popularized the principle of flying crane fire fighting.
Moths put out fire because: moths and other insects rely on moonlight to determine the direction when flying at night. The moth always casts moonlight into its eyes from one direction.
After escaping the bat's pursuit, or turning around an obstacle, the moth only needs to turn another corner, and the moonlight will still shine in its original direction, and it will find its way. This is a kind of "astronomical navigation".
Seeing the lights, the moth mistakenly thought it was "moonlight". Therefore, it also uses this false moonlight to discern the direction.
The moon is very far away from the earth, and as long as the moth maintains a fixed angle with the moon, it can make itself fly in a certain direction.
However, the light is very close to the moth, and the moth instinctively still keeps itself at a fixed angle with the light source, gradually approaching the light when flying around the light at a spiral angle.
So, which point is the big moth that flutters people look at the reporters of the last hour? indissoluble......
In fact, although butterflies do not like to pounce on people, but in the wild activities, people sweat, sweat has salt; butterflies need to supplement salt, so they will stop at the arm and other human parts to suck human sweat, and the same is true for large moths.
In addition, perfume can not attract bees to attract butterflies, and smearing some mild honey water and salt water on the hands can attract butterflies to suck.
Teacher Lou also has a little trick to shoot butterflies, to share with you, pouring some urine in the wild, rotting shrimp and crabs, breaking rotten snails, etc., can attract a large number of butterflies.
However, different butterflies like different foods: the nectar-loving ones include jade-banded butterflies, green butterflies, green butterflies, leopard butterflies, vegetable powder butterflies, etc.; the secretions on the tree poles include willow purple butterfly, large purple butterfly, etc.; fecal decay is two-tailed butterfly, glazed butterfly, arrow ring butterfly and so on.
Finally, let's give the big moth a proper name, its scientific name is the orange-banded blue ruler moth (Milionia basalis), which is not a native species in China, but was introduced to China when it was imported from Japan.
This moth belongs to the leaf-eating pest, mainly for the harm of Luo han pine, bamboo cypress and other green tree species; when the harm is serious, it can eat all the leaves of the plant, leaving only bare branches, and the damage speed is extremely fast, and the leaves of the Luohan pine that are about 3 meters high can be eaten in one day, which can lead to plant death.
Therefore, the big moth is not only not cute, but also because of its gluttony, it has become a pest of the mountain forest, once found, it must be prevented in time, the difficulty of prevention and control is not large, and it can be killed by spraying a few pyrethroid potions several times at the larval stage.
