During the winter vacation, my family went to Qixianling to climb the mountain. We came to the foot of the mountain, and I was surprised to find that there was a natural butterfly valley here! So, with curiosity, we waded through the first stream and stepped on the slippery stones and came to the forest. We approach butterflies (most of them live in big trees), pat our hands or shake butterflies on big trees and branches, and then fly leisurely ... After a while, they get tired of flying and stop in big trees to rest. These light and elegant spirits have given me a lot of fun and made me feel the gentleness and kindness of nature.

So I want to know more about butterflies. Now I will tell you what I know and share it with you.

First of all, about butterflies

Butterflies are graceful and colorful, like blooming flowers. Butterflies are the most beautiful of all creatures. In the process of flying around and smelling, it not only helps plants teach pollen, but also embellishes nature with its colorful patterns. Known as "the beauty of China" and "flying flowers". It symbolizes beauty, happiness, auspiciousness and friendship.

Second, the species and distribution of butterflies

There are about 6.5438+0.5 million species of butterflies, some of which are world treasures. Butterflies are mainly distributed in tropical rainforests all over the world. Because the conditions here are very conducive to the habitat growth and reproduction of butterflies. Butterflies in China are mainly distributed in Taiwan Province, Yunnan and Hainan.

Third, the growth process of butterflies

There are four completely different stages in a butterfly's life, namely, egg stage, larva stage, pupa stage and adult stage. At first, it was a small egg attached to a leaf or branch, and later it became a caterpillar and shed its skin. The next stage is "self-restraint". In the cocoon house, the caterpillar becomes liquid and reshapes. Finally, a wet butterfly with bright wings broke out of its cocoon. The life span of butterfly adults varies from species to species. Most butterflies have a short life span, usually between 10 and 15 days. After much pain, a considerable number of butterflies hatch from cocoons, but they can only live for about two weeks?

I never thought that the beautiful life after tenacious transformation was so short.

Butterfly and ecological butterfly are our friends.

Butterflies are excellent matchmakers. Spreading pollen when feeding on nectar creates favorable conditions for many plants to blossom and bear fruit normally, which makes nature full of vitality and meets people's needs for a variety of organisms and environments.

Butterfly larvae eat plants from hatching to maturity, sometimes endangering cash crops. However, most butterfly larvae are not the main cash crops cultivated by people, or they are not big enough to cause disasters, so they are not listed as pests. Among butterflies, there are still a few butterfly larvae that are carnivorous. They only eat pests that are beneficial and harmless to human beings. For example, butterfly larvae are addicted to coffee scales, and butterfly larvae feed on bamboo aphids. Some of them suppressed rampant pests and maintained the ecological balance of nature.

Butterfly is an indispensable link in a good ecological chain. The species and quantity of butterflies in an area is a barometer of the ecological environment in this area. Protecting butterflies means protecting our beautiful home.

V butterflies-a picture of life

People are familiar with oil painting, watercolor painting, paper-cut cloth and cloth stickers, but have you ever seen butterfly wing painting? With a pair of skillful hands, the producer skillfully processes, combines, collages and fixes butterflies or their wings on the drawing paper, which is a natural picture. There is no pen and ink, but the perfect combination of butterfly wings with various patterns and colors makes people, landscapes and flowers and birds lifelike. Butterfly wing painting is a beautiful life continuation written by butterflies for human beings with their short life. It is just one of many butterfly art varieties.

Flying butterflies, colorful and amorous feelings, adorn the world and lose their lives. Butterflies leave us with another visual shock.

Sixth, the enlightenment of butterflies.

Inspired by the little butterfly, scientists designed the temperature control system of the satellite. Butterflies have an extremely fine scale. Whenever the temperature rises and the sun shines on these scales, these tiny scales will automatically open to reduce the radiation angle of the sun, thus reducing the absorption of solar heat energy. When the outside temperature is too low, these scales will automatically close, allowing sunlight to directly shine on the scales, thus absorbing enough heat. In this way, even if the temperature changes greatly, the butterfly can still control its body temperature within the normal range.

Scientists have learned how to control temperature from the scales of butterflies. They designed a temperature control system on the satellite, which looks like a shutter. It has played the role of cooling in case of heat and keeping warm in case of cold. In this way, even if the satellite is in the space with a huge temperature difference of 200℃-2000℃, the equipment on the satellite will not be damaged.

The rich colors of butterflies can be applied to color design, and you can design shiny fabrics, beautiful patterns and anti-counterfeiting signs.

Seven, butterflies and dreams

Beautiful but unobtrusive, subtle and extraordinary, carefree and indisputable. These characteristics of butterflies have become the theme for philosophers, hermits and literati to express their feelings and ambitions.

"Green grass, butterfly Qi Fei ..." It describes the sad story of butterfly lovers. Li Shangyin, a poet of "Zhuang Mengdie, Wang Chunxin cuckoo crowing", expressed his joys and sorrows with butterflies. In the poem "harmony, wearing rainbow clothes and riding the wind", butterflies are the wings of the soul; In the poem, "A butterfly in the flower looks deeply, and a dragonfly flies leisurely in the water", and the butterfly becomes a leisurely messenger.

Eight, Hainan-the real butterfly kingdom

Hainan is one of the regions with the richest butterfly resources in China. There are more than 650 species of butterflies in Hainan Island, which belong to several families: Papilionidae, Papilionidae, Papilionidae, Nymphalidae, Papilionidae, Papilionidae and Papilionidae. However, there are still newly discovered butterflies in Hainan, which are more than those in Yunnan and Taiwan Province Province of China.

Butterflies account for 80% of the butterflies in Hainan Island in tropical mountain rain forest distribution areas such as Jianfengling, Diaoluoshan, Bawangling and Wuzhishan.

There are many rare butterflies in Hainan.

Known as the "national butterfly of China", Papilio aurea lives in Hainan? It is the only butterfly species listed as a national first-class protected wild animal in China.

China butterfly king-Papilio formosana and Papilio formosana, their standard wings can reach 17 cm. It can hover and glide in the air for a long time like a bird. It is the largest butterfly in China.

"Living fossil" purple butterfly. It is very similar to the ancient butterfly fossils found and is known as the "living fossil" of butterflies.

"Red Angel"-a pink butterfly with red wings. It is the only orange-red butterfly in the world, living in a specific environment in Hainan.

Nine, protect butterflies

At present, several kinds of butterflies in the world are endangered, and they are threatened by the development of farms and homes in living areas. Threatened by the destruction of living forests; Because of its beauty, it was killed and sold by collectors. Let's protect butterflies and protect the living environment of human beings. Butterflies will be more beautiful! Our dream will be better! Our life will be more colorful!
