I Have a Safari Park

"Wow!"

"so beautiful!"

Entering the Butterfly Pavilion, Tang Xiaoxin and Qian Keke suddenly widened their eyes and exclaimed in amazement!

At the entrance of the Butterfly Pavilion, there is a white fountain building.

The fountain is a type of large pool embedded with a small pool. The sculpture on the top layer sprays water, and a circle of water falls into the cup below, causing ripples.

The water overflowed layer by layer into the bottom large pool, making a pleasant sound of "rushing".

There are lush green plants on both sides of the road, shrubs and ferns are matched with trees, and green grass is green.

Flowers of various colors are in full bloom, the branches are sparse, and the flowers are clustered.

The air is fresh and humid, with the faint scent of flowers floating.

Some butterflies fluttered and fluttered beside colorful flowers and white fountains.

Some play with each other, you chase me, and some butterflies stop on flowers and collect pollen.

The butterfly's figure is light and light, like pieces of fluttering colored paper, which are blown away by the wind.

The flowers along the road seem to be swaying gently with the dance of the butterflies.

The sun shines on the wings of the butterflies, reflecting the brilliant and colorful colors, and the fountains are also shining with golden light.

There is also music playing in the venue. The gentle sound of the harp is like the bright moonlight flowing at night. With the elegant and clean sound of the violin, it seems that the afternoon sun shines on the quiet garden. A carefree feeling.

In front of such a beautiful scenery, the whole person's body and mind become peaceful and relaxed, and all troubles have disappeared.

Especially since the epidemic has just passed, everyone has not gone out for a long time, and they are greedy and eager to get in touch with nature.

The kids were so happy, they opened their arms and ran around the fountain.

Watching this scene, the parents recalled the good times of childhood, catching grasshoppers, chasing butterflies, and running in the sunset, smiling unconsciously.

Tang Xiaoxin was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses, picked up the phone quickly, and took two pictures!

As expected of the Linhai Zoo, it never disappoints!

The Butterfly House is really amazing.

The two slowly visited.

Listening to the soft music, the butterflies fluttered around, as if walking in a rainbow woven dream.

Qian Keke looked at a small butterfly on a pink flower by the roadside.

The outside of its wings is light gray with some small black spots on it, and there are white rings on the antennae, which are often seen.

There is a popular science exhibition card next to it: "Cù, a small butterfly with 18-20 wings spread, is the most common small butterfly on flat ground. Adults often fly low on grass, woods and roadsides.

The male butterfly has a metallic blue luster on the back, and the female butterfly is basically black, with light brown, black or brown spots on the underside of the wings. The sorrel butterfly gets its name from its host, the sorrel. "

Tang Xiaoxin tugged at Qian Keke's sleeve: "Look, this is so pretty!"

A butterfly rests on a green leaf, spreading its wings as if sunbathing.

There are tiny veins like tree branches in the middle of the wings, and the sun shines on them, showing an indigo-purple metallic color, there is even a faint rainbow light in the front section, and there is a circle of brown ripples on the edge.

This is a bright grey butterfly.

"Wow! So beautiful!"

From the branches in front, hangs a food tray with some sliced ​​oranges on it.

A pile of withered leaves fell on the orange, shaking gently.

At this time, a dead leaf suddenly jumped up, spread its wings and flew away.

The wings are closed, and there is a deep black leaf vein in the middle, extending shallow slashes, pale white ripples, like the folds of dead leaves soaked in rain, all the details are imitated vividly.

This is a group of dead leaf nymphs, which cannot be said to be very similar to dead leaves, but are exactly the same.

The belly is dry leaves, and the back is a large area of ​​black, orange, and dark blue.

Tang Xiaoxin praised: "This disguise is too strong!"

Qian Keke joked: "Congratulations to the dead leaves for winning the second place in the dead leaves imitation competition."

That is, if you stay on the fruit plate, you can see that something is wrong at a glance. If you stay on a tree, it is really difficult to tell.

Taking a closer look, you can see the dead leaf butterfly sticking out a long straw, constantly sucking on the orange.

On the popular science exhibition card next to it, the reasons for the beauty of butterflies are introduced.

The beauty of butterflies mainly comes from the scales on the wings, the so-called "pink".

These scales have different pigments and unique microstructures, which refract light when exposed to light and shine, forming the colorful and colorful patterns of butterflies.

Pigment and color will slowly decompose or oxidize with the death of the butterfly, so the specimen is not as beautiful as the live butterfly.

Butterflies decorate themselves with rich colors, not for beauty, but for survival.

Some butterflies use bright patterns and colors to indicate that their bodies are poisonous and unpalatable. Such warning colors make predators shy away.

Although some are not poisonous, they also wear heavy makeup and pretend to be poisonous. Warning colors can be shiny metallic luster, or contrasting colors such as black, red, black and yellow.

Others use patterns to disguise animals that are afraid of predators. For example, the head of a snake, the eyes of an animal, come alive and scare off small animals that try to attack it.

In addition to warning colors, there are protective colors, the most common being green and brown.

More advanced than the protective color, it is a mimetic, such as the dead leaf butterfly, not only looks like, but it even shakes gently, imitating the swing of leaves.

After reading the popular science exhibition card, I couldn't help sighing: "Nature is really amazing!"

Another popular science exhibition card introduces the difference between butterflies and moths.

Tang Xiaoxin suddenly became interested, and this was also a question she was very curious about when she visited!

Is it colorful? Or fat and thin?

However, the dead leaf butterfly is a very simple color, and it seems that it is not right to be fat or thin. She has seen big moths as big as the palm of your hand.

Qian Keke guessed: "Moths should be active at night, right? Butterflies are active during the day. Otherwise, why is it called moths rushing to the fire, and no butterflies rushing to the fire?"

"Makes sense!"

In fact, some moths are active during the day.

The most reliable way to distinguish moths and butterflies is to look at their antennae.

The antennae are used to detect airborne scents, such as pheromones that greet a mate, or chemical signals cast by a favorite flower.

All butterflies have small rods at the ends of their antennae, like the antennae of a toy car.

The antennae of moths are feather-like or thread-like, without small sticks.

The other is the way they fly. Most moths have a hook-like structure that connects their fore and hind wings, allowing them to flap their wings quickly, and the butterfly has to flap its wings and flutter for a while, with a graceful figure.
