Chapter 459: Butterflies should also be protected

"What are you looking for me, what are you looking for me?" Liu Junhao asked curiously.

"If you study butterflies, you should come back quickly."

"Oh, wait five minutes." Er Mazi was in a hurry, and Liu Junhao could only ride the red rabbit towards home.

Taking advantage of the efforts of others, Professor Qian and the two watched carefully under the big locust tree. There were a lot of butterflies, but they didn't find what they were looking for, which made them a little disappointed.

"He is Liu Junhao, followed by the Red Rabbit Horse, and this horse is also a God of Wealth." Seeing Liu Junhao coming back, Er Mazi followed to introduce.

"You are Liu Junhao, you took this photo, right?" Hearing that the main owner was back, Professor Qian took out a photo and asked eagerly.

"This photo" Liu Junhao took it suspiciously. The photo is simple, a yellow and black butterfly rests on a dandelion, and there is nothing peculiar about it.

It is said that the two of them have now become amateur photographers, and when they go out, they carry their cameras with them, and they take pictures when they see good scenery, and they don't take seventeen or eighteen photos one day. He and his daughter-in-law have taken at least a few hundred pictures of butterflies like this, and they really haven't been particularly impressed for a while.

Seeing Liu Junhao shaking his head, Professor Qian became anxious: "Think about it carefully, where did you shoot it, this butterfly is called the Chinese tiger and phoenix butterfly, which is very important......"

This photo was stumbled upon by Professor Qian's student Wang Mingjun when he was visiting a forum, because his teacher had recently been studying this butterfly. He immediately contacted the person who posted it on the forum and asked where he had filmed it. As a result, the man said that it was reprinted from the eighteenth floor, and he tracked it down to the eighteenth floor, only to know that it was taken by a villager in Liujiagou.

I thought it would take some trouble to inquire about this person, but who knew that as soon as he asked the poster, some enthusiastic netizens immediately pointed it out.

Soon he became confused again, he had never heard of the appearance of Chinese tiger and phoenix butterflies in Daqingshan, and the photo was a little blurry, so Wang Mingjun was not sure if it was the butterfly they were looking for, so he called his teacher. Professor Liu was very excited when he found the photo, and even said that it was the Chinese tiger and phoenix butterfly he had recently studied, and immediately decided to visit Liujiagou.

After listening to what happened to them, Liu Junhao still felt that the two of them were idle. Isn't it just a few butterflies, what's all the fuss. Butterflies are caterpillars, caterpillars are pests, do you know what is the research value of this thing?

Looking at the other party's disapproving attitude, he obviously didn't know the value of the Chinese tiger and phoenix butterfly. Qian Wenbin had to explain in detail, "Mr. Liu, this butterfly is a national second-class protected animal, mainly distributed in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River from Wuhan to Shanghai. It's just that with the destruction of the living environment and the greedy capture of butterfly merchants, this rare wild butterfly is becoming less and less, and it has only been found in the Tianlong Mountain Scenic Area in our province.

Two thousand years ago, there were more than 50 Chinese tiger and phoenix butterflies found in Tianlong Mountain, but in 06 years, we did another investigation, and there were only 3 left on Tianlong Mountain. The living environment of this butterfly is relatively harsh, they have high requirements for temperature, humidity and other conditions in the environment, and generally only lay eggs on Du Heng. The increase in tourists in Tianlong Mountain has directly damaged the growth environment of Du Yu. Last year, when we did a survey, we found that the number of Chinese tiger and phoenix butterflies in Tianlong Mountain was zero......"

Butterflies have also become protected animals, how rare they sound, not to mention that Liu Junhao is difficult to understand, and even Er Mazi is confused.

"Most people may think that only giant pandas are precious, but this is not the case. Many plants and animals are on the verge of extinction. In China, there is a kind of butterfly called the golden-spotted beaked butterfly, which is listed as a first-class key protected animal, and is known as the 'national butterfly' in the academic circles, and the national treasure panda is equally famous. Although this Chinese tiger butterfly is not as good as the golden-spotted beaked butterfly, it is also very precious" or Wang Mingjun understands the psychology of the two and directly links it to money.

As soon as he heard that it was worth so much money, Liu Junhao had an intuitive feeling and knew that he was taking it for granted. There are also precious ones in the emotional butterflies, and I used to think that this thing was a caterpillar and became, and all of them should be killed.

"I think I've seen this butterfly ......," Er Mazi replied, scratching her head after looking at the photo.

Qian Wenbin and the others immediately looked at him with anticipation, but this person followed, "It's a pity that it's been too long and I forgot where I saw it." Xiao Hao, think about it carefully. ”

In fact, it is really hard to think, mainly because rural people rarely pay attention to the butterflies on the roadside. Even if you see it, most of them will take it for granted. If it weren't for Liu Junhao's idleness and love to take photos, this butterfly might not have been discovered in a few years.

"Wait a minute, I'll open the door, there may still be photos stored on the computer in the house," Liu Junhao said, opening the courtyard door and inviting a few of them into the house to sit down.

The computer was turned on, and as soon as Liu Junhao flipped out the photo folder, Professor Qian had already exclaimed, "Three-tailed brown phoenix butterfly, this kind of butterfly also has in Daqingshan?" There are also black purple butterflies...... God, there are so many species of butterflies, why didn't anyone come to Daqingshan to investigate before. ”

Qian Wenbin was amazed while watching, and finally found a few photos of Chinese tigers and phoenixes.

Liu Junhao carefully recalled these photos, it seems that they were not taken by himself, but should have been taken by his wife accidentally.

Seeing that the two of them were in a hurry, he could only call Du Fei and inform Zhang Qian to go home.

"Why are you in such a hurry, you are calling me back for class?" As soon as my wife entered the courtyard gate, she began to complain, and saw that there were other people in the house who smiled embarrassedly.

Hearing that there were rare butterflies in the photos she took, Zhang Qian was also quite surprised and excited, and thought for a long time that this photo seemed to have been inadvertently taken on the river embankment.

Everyone followed her instructions and searched along the embankment for a long time, and they all passed Gaohe Village, but they still didn't see it.

"Professor Qian, why don't we go back, since we know that there is this kind of butterfly in Daqingshan, we will definitely be able to find it." I'll go back to the village and talk to everyone and ask them to help them when they go up the mountain. Liu Junhao finally decided to launch the crowd tactic, after all, this thing is too small, and he will miss it if he is not careful. There is a lot of power in numbers, and it is easier to find.

Go back to Liu Guangju and tell him about this, and he absolutely supports it. Daqingshan's discovery of the cherished butterflies protected by the state is a big news, and it should be able to be listed on the TV station. As soon as Liu Junhao thought of this possibility, his expression immediately soared.

"Hmm," Qian Wenbin could only nod. He also knew that he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so he took this opportunity to stay in Liujiagou for a few more days, just in time to study the distribution of butterflies in the Daqingshan area, and maybe discover one or two new butterfly species.

Although technology is quite advanced now, people's understanding of nature is still very superficial, and many new creatures are discovered every year. When it comes to butterflies specifically, new butterfly species are discovered in China every two or three years.

When he got home, Liu Junhao immediately sent a message in the group, and then posted the photo and asked everyone if they had seen it.

Not to mention, there were really two netizens who followed the photo and said that they had also taken it.

"Xiao Hao, what are you looking for this kind of butterfly?" Sticker first, the netizen asked.

"Don't tell him," Professor Qian immediately said to stop.

"It's nothing, just see if anyone shoots it." After Liu Junhao finished this paragraph, he turned his head and looked at Qian Wenbin in confusion.

Several other people were also confused, not knowing what he thought.

"The more people who know, it's not necessarily a good thing for the Chinese tiger and butterfly. In this modern society, there are many idlers, and most of them are curious. If you know that there are rare butterflies in Daqingshan, I am afraid that this butterfly will not be at peace from now on. It is estimated that when the time comes, people will definitely indiscriminately hunt and kill indiscriminately and illegally make specimens, which is not the original intention of my investigation.

The golden-spotted beaked butterfly I just told you about, the state stipulates that if one is illegally killed, a case must be filed, three are major cases, and six are extraordinarily large cases. But this does not stop people who are interested in profit. Just this spring, a handful of butterfly merchants and farmers poached nearly 300 golden-spotted beaked butterflies in Guangxi's Dayao Mountains, 250 of which died and were roasted into specimens. It's really sad......"

As soon as they heard what they said, several people fell silent. They only considered that this matter could be spread to promote Liujiagou, but they forgot that it was not necessarily a good thing for butterflies.

It's just that this kind of thing doesn't let people know, and it feels quite aggrieved.

Besides, when this rare butterfly is discovered, how can we talk about protection if you don't tell people.

Liu Junhao immediately thought of the stone lock, he could introduce a few pairs inside, and wait for the butterfly population to grow before scattering it outside. As for the plants inside being eaten, I recognized it myself.

Wang Mingjun and the two were discussing staying in Liujiagou, but when they inadvertently turned their heads, Professor Qian suddenly pointed at the monkey in the courtyard and screamed.

Everyone looked in the direction he was pointing, only to see Wukong holding a colorful butterfly in his hand and stuffing it into the starling's mouth.

"Wukong" Liu Junhao hurriedly screamed and rushed up and snatched the butterfly from his hand.

Chinese Tiger Butterfly ...... It's a pity that it has been pinched to death by monkeys.

"Evil" Professor Qian took it distressed, his face full of regret.

"Where did you find it?" Zhang Qian picked up the monkey and asked.

"Squeak" The guy seemed to understand, screaming and leading them to the backyard.

I didn't expect to have it in my backyard, how did I forget the rape field just now.

Two minutes after the "Chinese Tiger and Phoenix Butterfly" arrived in the backyard, Qian Wenbin exclaimed with joy again, only to see two butterflies flapping their wings by the ditch.

Finally found a living thing...... But the crowd rejoiced too soon. There was a stir in the water, and the yellow eel's head flashed, followed by two butterflies and disappeared.

"This ......" several people were stunned again.

Qian Wenbin's depressed face turned red, and he didn't know what to say.

But soon he found a Chinese tiger butterfly on the rape flower, followed by the second one, and the third one was found one after another.

In half an hour, a few people found more than 20 Chinese tiger butterflies in the rape field in the backyard, and also found a few black purple butterflies.

"This butterfly doesn't seem to be unusual, right, it will take a while to find so many, it is also called a protected animal?" Ermazi asked curiously.

"I didn't expect there to be so many in Daqingshan," Qian Wenbin replied, and the excitement in his tone couldn't be concealed. In his opinion, there are so many to find in just one yard, and there must be a community of Chinese tigers and phoenixes in Daqingshan.

He didn't know that Liu Junhao's backyard could find so many butterflies, which was entirely due to the effect of spring water.

At noon, Professor Qian and the two had dinner at Liu Junhao's house, and after staying in the compound for a long time, they realized how unusual it was. Everything in the courtyard turned their perception upside down.
