Chapter 144: Butterfly Farm
Goode Sperry's Butterfly Farm is located next to Yulin, the climate here is very suitable for the growth of butterflies, the tropical climate is warm all year round, and you can see butterflies fluttering as soon as you get off the car, these flower elves are dancing on the flower heads......
"Hey, Sperry, you're in such a good place here...... The farm was so nice......"
"Oh, thank you......"
Tang Shenyuan asked, "Can you make money from this butterfly farm?" ”
Tang Shenyuan didn't understand how the farm made a profit, so he asked.
"Oh, you may not know what our farm does, but I have a lot of tourists here every day, and I am here to introduce them to the life cycle and habitat of butterflies, and tourists can bring me income...... As for me, I can teach them about butterfly conservation, so that they can participate in the conservation of butterfly species......"
Well, Goode Sperry told Tang Shenyuan that she can actually sell butterflies here, and not just because of the tickets of those tourists......
Tang Shenyuan went into the farm and saw many pavilions and a lot of projection equipment, which according to the aunt showed visitors the whole growth process of butterflies from eggs to larvae, pupae and adults. In order to allow visitors to see butterflies at any time, the farm adopts artificial temperature control methods, and controls the temperature in the field to 27.5 degrees Celsius, which is the most suitable for butterflies to grow, creating a charming scenery of butterflies dancing all year round.
"We put all the eggs we collected in the flight hall, because there are parasites, wasps, etc., they lay their eggs on butterfly eggs, so what hatches may not be caterpillars, but other animals......" Sperry took a small glass bottle and introduced to Tang Shenyuan: "After they hatch, we will put them on the leaves, if the butterfly lays a hundred eggs, then no more than 5 can hatch and grow and mature, every butterfly in nature is a miracle......"
Well, with Sperry, Don learned a lot about butterflies, and learned that it takes about five months for a butterfly to turn from a small caterpillar to a chrysalis; Tang Shenyuan saw that there were many glass pavilions in the hall, and there were all kinds of plants planted in them, and they were crawling with caterpillars, these were all butterfly larvae, all kinds of colors, and I didn't expect that there were so many bright colors of caterpillars!
≯dǐng≯diǎn≯小≯ said,.▼.o£s_(); "Sperry, how many species of butterflies do you have on your farm?"
"Hey Don, why don't you guess?"
Tang Shenyuan smiled: "I can't guess, since I entered your farm, I have found more than twenty species of butterflies...... I guess the number is definitely no less than twenty! ”
"That's right, Tang, your guess is actually quite close to the correct answer, there are twenty-five species of butterflies on my farm...... But there are 3,500 species in our country......
Sperry's tone was full of regret, she said: "I think the government should promote the export of artificially bred butterflies, you don't know that our country catches wild butterflies every year for export, and many precious butterflies are endangered......
Tang Shenyuan had already learned some about Peru before he came, there are special butterfly hunters in Peru, they hunt wild butterflies legally, hunters can get a financial income by catching butterflies to improve the quality of life!
……
"Hey, Sperry, you're back, hey, is this the Huaxia friend you were talking about?"
A swarthy man with a scruffy beard came from the house, and when he saw Tang Shenyuan, a white yellow man, he immediately guessed Tang Shenyuan's identity, and quickly shook hands with Tang Shenyuan warmly, and said some words of welcome to Peru.
After meeting, Tang Shenyuan learned the name of this big man, his name is Hernan Lecrilla, he is a self-taught butterfly expert, he was originally a butterfly hunter and was later invited by Sperry to help on the farm, he can be regarded as Sperry's employee.
"Hey, Sperry, there's another tour group over there, would you like to give them a lesson?"
Hernán Lecrilla spoke the local language, of course Tang Shenyuan couldn't understand it, and Sperry didn't translate it for him, but just said to Lecrilla: "Of course! ”
Then Tang Shenyuan said: "Tang, let's go, I'll take you to see ......"
Tang Shenyuan followed her, and sure enough, there were seven or eight people in the exhibition hall who were wandering around, looking at the caterpillars and the flying butterflies in the various exhibition halls with great interest......
"Visitors can experience the birth of butterflies at our farm...... It's a shocking scene! A young bug breaks out of its shell, and a life is born right before your eyes...... You will sigh at how precious life is! ”
Tang Shenyuan listened to Sperry's chatter, but he felt bored at every time, but he was very interested.
The little tour guide of the tour group should be familiar with Sperry, and she also came over to say a few words to Sperry that Tang Shenyuan didn't understand, and then saw Sperry say a word to the tourists in Spanish, and everyone gathered around.
Although Tang Shenyuan couldn't understand Spanish, but looking at the expressions of Sperry and the tourists, he knew that she was giving the tourists some knowledge of butterflies, and Tang Shenyuan himself followed her to observe, those tourists were almost all locals, and they seemed to be very interested in Tang Shenyuan, a foreigner, and there were two sisters who were always looking at Tang Shenyuan, covering their mouths and laughing from time to time.
However, Tang Shenyuan is really indifferent to these black sister papers, Tang Shenyuan is a person, he has never been interested in black sisters, he likes fair sister papers! And these two Peruvian girls are not beautiful, they can only be said to have good facial features.
After more than half an hour, Sperry sent the tour group away, apologetically: "Sorry Don, I forgot you don't know Spanish......"
Well, only now did I find out the big bulb of Tang Shenyuan.
"It's okay, it's okay...... I just looked around for myself and it was very good...... Hey, is this a flash butterfly? ”
Sperry looked at the caterpillars that Tang Shenyuan pointed at, and she smiled: "That's right, this is the state of Flash Butterfly when she was a child...... Doesn't it look ugly, and it doesn't have the beauty it has when it matures? ”
"Well, it's ugly!"
Tang Shenyuan agreed with Sperry's words, looking at so many caterpillars, Tang Shenyuan felt a little creepy, if those girls who were afraid of small insects saw this scene, I don't know if they would be scared half to death?
"Oh my God, I forgot that you were my guest...... Let's go into the house and sit for a while......"
Well, it's been almost an hour since Tang Shenyuan came to the farm, but he hasn't even drunk a glass of water, but he doesn't seem to be surprised, Sperry is a workaholic, and when it comes to her beloved butterfly, she forgets everything else! And that Lecrilla didn't know how to help entertain guests......
Tang Shenyuan carried a light backpack on his back and was pulled by Sperry into the house in the backyard, which was where Sperry lived.
"It's very shabby here, don't be surprised!"
It's really rudimentary, and it's full of clutter, and it seems that these things are tools for cultivating and studying butterflies, and of course there are some professional books...... (To be continued.) )
