In recent times, the Butterfly Valley of the Red River in Jinping, Yunnan province, will usher in the largest butterfly outbreak in a decade. In this regard, experts remind that in order to protect nature, tourists must watch in a civilized manner and do not use their hands.
It is understood that in the dense forest of Jinping Miao and Yao Dai Autonomous County in Yunnan, hundreds of millions of "butterfly babies" are about to be feathered into butterflies. According to experts, due to the good natural environment of Jinping, Yunnan, the rich and concentrated host plants, the high forest coverage rate and the abundant water resources, it is particularly suitable for the growth of butterfly resources dominated by the white-sleeved arrow ring butterfly, so from May to June every year, a large number of arrow ring butterflies are concentrated. This year's big outbreak is expected to last about 20 days after May 20. The total number will be around 150 million.
Yi Chuanhui, professor of the Yunnan Biodiversity Research Institute of Southwest Forestry University: "This outbreak is not such a large amount every year, there is a cycle, according to observations, this cycle is about 6 to 7 years, this year may be a period of large outbreaks, the amount will be relatively large." ”
Yi Chuanhui introduced that at present, only mexico and Yunnan Jinping Butterfly Valley in the world have a butterfly outbreak. In addition to the white-sleeved arrow ring butterfly in the Red River Butterfly Valley, there are also a large number of national-level wild protected animals such as dead leaf butterfly and phoenix butterfly, which is known as "nature's gene bank".
Yi Chuanhui, professor of yunnan biodiversity research institute of Southwest Linda University: "In addition to the white-sleeved arrow ring butterfly, there are many butterfly species in butterfly valley. According to data reports, there are about 400 kinds of butterflies here, including many very precious golden-spotted beaked butterflies and golden-spotted butterflies, and this explosion also reflects that our Yunnan biodiversity is very rich. ”
Yi Chuanhui also reminded that the Animal and Plant Resources in the Butterfly Valley of the Red River are rich, and there are many national-level wild protected animals and plants. For example, the golden-spotted beaked phoenix butterfly is a unique treasure in China and is the only national first-class protected animal of the butterfly in China, which is strictly protected by national laws. If tourists go there to see butterflies, they must remember that they can only look at it from a distance, and they must not touch or catch wild butterflies.
Yi Chuanhui, professor at the Yunnan Biodiversity Research Institute of Southwest Forestry University, said: "We must have a sense of protection for butterflies, especially if we collect some protected species, we may violate relevant laws." ”
