To build a community of life on earth, the Bank of China takes you to understand the biology of Vientiane. Today, to know China's largest butterfly, the golden phoenix butterfly, it also has many nicknames, which can be called the most nicknames in the butterfly world.
Butterfly: "People often say that I am the biggest butterfly in China because I am huge. But what I want to tell you is that I am not only tall, but also internationally recognized as one of the most ornamental butterfly species in the world. Look, the beautiful hindwings are as brilliant as gold platinum in the sun, and because of this golden color, I also have a domineering name "monarch butterfly". ”
Butterfly: "This is my larvae, it looks fleshy, the food is the branches and leaves of the aristolochia, this plant is highly toxic, and long-term "taking poison" has allowed my larvae to accumulate a certain amount of toxin in their bodies, so there are almost no natural enemies in nature." Like the "martial arts masters" in martial arts novels who practiced the Qishi Divine Skills by trying poison by themselves? ”
Butterfly: In our butterfly family, I am still the "longevity champion" of the adult insect world, ordinary butterflies can only live for one week if they have a short lifespan, and a little longer can reach half a month, while I can live at least a month. ”
Butterfly: "I have more black markings on my hindwings and look like the capital letter A, so I'm also known as a '5A' butterfly. Since 2002, our family has lived in Jinping Saddle Bottom, Yunnan Province, and by 2021 the population will reach more than 5,000. If you come here, don't forget to come and see me. ”
