China Mianyang News Network News (intern reporter Li Qiaozhen text / photo) "Lone butterfly small silk, flying powder wings open." Recently, a group of flying elves flew together and flew through thousands of mountains and rivers to participate in the city's first world rare butterfly exhibition. At that time, there will be 10-20 species, thousands of the most representative rare quality butterflies of the seven continents on display.
Walking through the progress field, the eyes are printed by two rows of popular science exhibition areas, and on the left is the butterfly specimen display area, displaying exquisite rare butterfly specimens and science popularization introductions in the world. A total of 16 common butterflies are introduced in detail, namely round-winged hook butterfly, black-veined golden-spotted butterfly, citrus butterfly, beautiful butterfly, black-veined butterfly, yellow-hooked butterfly, lingqi tip pink butterfly, purple-spotted butterfly, golden-spotted butterfly, Paris kingfisher butterfly, vegetable powder butterfly, green phoenix butterfly, willow purple butterfly, cadmium yellow migration pink butterfly, green spotted butterfly, and spotted bean powder butterfly. Many citizens stopped in front of the exhibition board to read carefully, and some even picked up their mobile phones to take pictures.
Ms. Lu brought her 14-year-old son to the science exhibition area, and the mother and son took pictures of the science exhibition board while carefully reading. "If it weren't for this exhibition, I wouldn't have known that butterflies would have so many varieties, which was an eye-opener." Ms. Lu told reporters: "My son is now in junior high school, take him to see more of these kinds of activities, you can play and learn knowledge, it is better than playing games at home." ”
Accompanied by his father, 9-year-old Wang Zhiqiao participated in the parent-child activities "Butterfly DIY" and riddle guessing at the venue, and completed the "Butterfly DIY" work with the joint efforts of father and son. Father Wang said, "Usually busy at work, rarely play with children, take this opportunity to take children to grow knowledge, but also deepen the feelings of father and son." ”
According to reports, the butterflies are all airlifted to our city from subtropical and tropical areas, mainly in the butterfly family, and other species are exhibited in batches and quantities with changes in weather.
Butterflies generally live in subtropical or tropical areas, but our city is in the middle of winter, how do these beautiful elves survive? In order to ensure the survival rate of butterflies, the staff set up a warm flower room in the venue, and the indoor temperature was above 25 degrees Celsius.
Walking into the flower room, the hot air contrasts greatly with the cold air outside, and the camera lens instantly fogs up. Flocks of butterflies gather and scatter, fly and fall, and their colorful wings look like extremely beautiful satin in the sunlight. There were a few large butterflies with purple spots in the flower bush, one moment floating in the air, the next moment erecting wings and landing on the flowers, it was almost impossible to tell whether the butterflies had become flowers embellished on the branches, or the flowers had grown wings and flew up.
The children came to the flower room and jumped and laughed happily, and several daring butterflies flew to the children's hands. The staff told reporters that because the butterflies on this exhibition are transported from the tropics and have fragile vitality, the citizens must be careful to take care of the butterflies when they interact with the butterflies in the flower room, and do not let your "thick love" hurt them by mistake.
Abstract: "The lone butterfly is small and wandering, and the wings are open. Recently, a group of flying elves flew together and flew through thousands of mountains and rivers to participate in the city's first world rare butterfly exhibition. At that time, there will be 10-20 species, thousands of the most representative rare quality butterflies of the seven continents on display.
