I Have a Safari Park - Chapter 730
“Wow!”
“so beautiful!”
Entering the butterfly house, Tang Xiaoxin and Qian Keke suddenly widened their eyes and exclaimed!
At the entrance of the Butterfly Pavilion, there is a white fountain building.
The fountain is a type of large pond embedded in a small pond. The sculpture on the uppermost layer sprays water, and a circle of water falls into the cup below, rippling.
Layer by layer, the water overflowed into the bottom big pond, making a pleasant sound of “buzzing”.
There are lush green plants on both sides of the road, shrubs and ferns with trees, and green grass.
Flowers of various colors are in full bloom, branches are intertwined, and the flowers are clustered. The texture of each petal is exquisite and beautiful, open and full of spirit, showing its own elegance.
The air is fresh and moist, with a faint fragrance of flowers floating.
Some butterflies flutter their wings and dance around the colorful flowers and white fountains.
Some play with each other, you chase me, and some butterflies stop on the flowers and collect pollen.
The butterfly’s posture is light and light, like a piece of fluttering colored paper, which floats away as soon as it is blown by the wind.
The flowers on the roadside seemed to sway gently with the dance of butterflies.
The sunlight shone on the wings of the butterfly, reflecting brilliant and colorful colors, and the fountain shone with golden light.
There is also music playing in the venue. The gentle harp sound is like the bright moonlight flowing at night, plus the elegant and clean violin sound, as if the afternoon sun shines on the quiet garden, accompanied by the sound of the “pushing” fountain water. Kind of carefree feeling.
Before such a beautiful scenery, the whole person’s body and mind became quiet and relaxed, and all worries disappeared.
Especially just after the epidemic, everyone hasn’t gone out for a long time, and greedily yearns for close contact with nature.
The children were so happy that they opened their arms and ran around the fountain.
The parents watched this scene and recalled the good times of childhood, catching grasshoppers, chasing butterflies, and running freely in the sunset, smiling unconsciously.
Tang Xiaoxin stayed for a while, recovered, quickly picked up the phone and took two “KaKa” pictures!
As expected of Linhai Zoo, it has never disappointed!
The Butterfly Pavilion is really amazing.
The two slowly began to visit.
Listening to soft music, butterflies fluttered around me, as if walking in a rainbow woven dream.
Qian Keke looked towards a small butterfly on a pink flower on the side of the road.
The outer side of its wings is light gray, with some small black spots on it, and there are white rings on the tentacles, which can often be seen in normal times.
Next to it is a popular science exhibition board introducing: “The gutta-percha butterfly, a small butterfly with 18-20 wings spread out, is the most common small butterfly on flat ground. Adults often fly low on grass, woods, and roadsides.
The back of the male butterfly shines with metallic blue luster, the female butterfly is basically black, and the ventral surface of the wings is light brown, black or brown with small spots. The wood sorrel is named after its host, wood sorrel. “
Tang Xiaoxin tugged Qian Keke’s sleeve: “Look, this one is so beautiful!”
A butterfly rested on a green leaf, spread its wings, and seemed to be sunbathing.
There are small veins like tree branches in the middle of the wings, and the sun shines on it, showing an indigo-purple metallic color. There is even a hint of rainbow light in the front section, and there is a circle of brown ripples on the edge.
This is a bright gray butterfly.
“Wow! It’s beautiful!”
On the branch in front, a food tray hung with some sliced oranges on it.
A pile of withered leaves fell on the orange, shaking gently.
At this moment, a dead leaf suddenly jumped up, spread its wings and flew away.
The wings are closed, and there is a dark leaf vein in the middle, extending shallow slashes, pale ripples, like folds of dead leaves soaked in rain, all details are imitated vividly.
This is a group of dead leaves, and they can’t be said to be very similar to dead leaves, they can only be said to be exactly the same.
The abdomen is covered with dry leaves, and the back is a large area of black, orange, and dark blue.
Tang Xiaoxin admired: “This disguise is too strong!”
Qian Keke joked: “Congratulations, Dead Leaf won the second place in the Dead Leaf Imitation Contest.”
That is, staying on the fruit plate, you can tell something is wrong at a glance, if you stay on the tree, it’s really hard to tell.
Looking closer, you can see that the dead leaf butterfly stretches out a long straw, sucking on the orange.
On the next science exhibition board, the reason for the beauty of butterflies was introduced.
The beauty of the butterfly mainly comes from the scales on the wings, the so-called “pink”.
These scales have different pigments and unique microstructures, which will refract light under the light and shine, forming butterflies with colorful colors and colorful patterns.
The pigment color will slowly decompose or oxidize as the butterfly dies, so the specimen is not as beautiful as a live butterfly.
Butterflies dress themselves with rich colors, not for beauty, but for survival.
Some butterflies use bright patterns and colors to show that their bodies are poisonous and not tasty. Such a warning color makes predators retreat.
Although some are not poisonous, they also wear heavy makeup, pretending to be poisonous. The warning color can be a shiny metallic luster, or it can be a sharp contrast color such as black-red and black-yellow.
Others use patterns to pretend to be animals that are afraid of their natural enemies. For example, snake heads and animal eyes are vivid, scaring away the small animals that try to invade it.
In addition to warning colors, there are protective colors, the most common are green and brown.
More advanced than the protective color, it is mimicry. For example, the dead leaf butterfly not only looks like, but what’s more, it even shakes gently, imitating the appearance of leaves swinging.
After watching the popular science exhibition, I can’t help but sigh: “Nature is really amazing!”
Another popular science exhibition board introduced the difference between butterflies and moths.
Tang Xiaoxin immediately became interested, and this was also a question she was curious about when she visited!
Is it colorful? Still fat and thin?
But the dead leaf butterfly belongs to the very simple color~www.mtlnovel.com~ It seems that the body is fat and thin. She has seen a big flapping moth with the palm of her hand.
Qian Keke guessed: “Moths are supposed to be active at night, right? Butterflies are active during the day. Otherwise, why are moths fighting the fire instead of butterflies.”
“It 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.
Antennae are used to detect airborne odors, such as pheromones to greet a spouse, or chemical signals from favorite flowers.
All butterflies have a small stick at the end of their antennae, like the antenna of a toy car.
The tentacles 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 to connect the front and rear wings, allowing them to fan their wings fast and ride the dust, while butterflies have to fan their wings and flutter for a while, with a graceful posture.
