Chapter 202 Golden-spotted beaked swallowtail butterfly

In addition, clover also has scientific research value.

It is of scientific significance to study the evolution of angiosperms and the phylogeny of this family. Monophyllum not only has lonely flowers and leaves, but also has a unique and original structure.

Its leaf veins are a typical open bifurcated venation, which is unique among more than 2000 species of Ranunculaceae and is a primitive venation.The flowers of unifoliate are composed of tepals, staminodes, pistils and carpels, but the tepals are also open and dichotomous, and the carpels of the pistils are open in the early stage of development.

These structures all show that unifoliate has many original features.Therefore, since it was discovered on the high mountains of Yunnan in 14, it has aroused the interest of scholars at home and abroad.

They believe that the study of unifoliate can provide new information for the evolution of the entire angiosperm.

On August 18, 8, investigators from the Institute of Ecology of the Sichuan Academy of Forestry Sciences found thousands of unifoliate plants under the Minjiang fir forest on the east slope of Changhai, Jiuzhaigou National Nature Reserve.

protection level
Included in the "IUCN Red List of Threatened Species" (IUCN) - Vulnerable (VU).

Included in Xia Guo's "List of National Key Protected Wild Plants" - Level [-].

"And we are also very lucky to see Single Leaf Clover here today."

"After all, this is a protected plant, even surpassing the national treasure level in its status."

Don't look at Xiaguo, it's just listed as a second-class protected wild plant. ,
But its research value is very important.

[It turns out that this single-leaf clover is so rare! 】

[It's actually a second-class wild protected plant. 】

[Although it is somewhat similar to a four-leaf clover, this single-leaf clover is indeed more precious than a four-leaf clover. 】

[And its importance is even greater! 】

The audience in the live broadcast room immediately understood Lin Xuan's words.

This clover has gold in it.

Just when Lin Xuan and the audience were observing the clover.

I saw one, dancing lightly, with faint green light shining on the scales on its wings.

There is an arc-shaped golden-green spot on each forewing.

There are several golden plaques in the center of the hind wing, and a crescent-shaped golden spot on the rear edge. The tail of the hind wing is protruding and slender, and a small section of the end is golden in color.

A butterfly is flying in the air.

[Wow, what kind of butterfly is this?Why have I never seen it? 】

[This butterfly is too beautiful! 】

[Yeah, it's also the first time I've seen this kind of butterfly. 】

[Momei Ruhua: If I'm not mistaken, this should be a golden-spotted beaked swallowtail, right? 】

[Golden-spotted beaked butterfly? 】

[Is this name also protecting butterflies? 】

'The brother just said is right, this is indeed to protect butterflies. '

Lin Xuan did not expect that not only did he find the unifoliate today, but he could also see the legendary "National Butterfly"

While he was excited, he also did not forget to educate the audience in the live broadcast room.

Teinopalpus aureus belongs to the genus Papilionidae, with a body length of about 30 mm and a wingspan of about 110 mm. There is an arc-shaped golden-green band on each of the forewings, and several patches in the center of the hind wings. There are golden spots, crescent-shaped golden spots on the rear edge, and the tail of the hind wings protrudes and is slender, with a small piece of golden yellow at the end. It often flies high in the forest, and sometimes stops among the flowers.

Its graceful posture is like a gorgeous, noble and radiant "lady", so it is called "the queen of butterflies." It is a precious butterfly species in the world.

In addition, this butterfly is also called by us, the uncrowned national butterfly of Xia Kingdom.

The golden spotted beaked butterfly is a national first-class protected animal

Since the publicity of the list of national key protected wild animals in 89, the golden spotted beaked butterfly has been listed as a national first-class protected wild animal. It is strictly protected by the laws of Xia State. Any collection, sale, and purchase are illegal.

"This is the first first-class wild protected animal we have seen for a long time, a butterfly!"

[No wonder the first time I saw it, I thought this butterfly had a noble temperament. 】

[It turned out to be a first-class protected animal! 】

[I have to say that I am very satisfied even if she is called a national butterfly because she is so beautiful. 】

[Yes, I am also very satisfied. 】

The butterfly flying in the air suddenly flew to Lin Xuan's outstretched finger.

On Lin Xuan's fingers, the wings vibrated slightly, as if showing off his own dance.

It was also the first time for Lin Xuan to look at this butterfly at such a close distance. I have to say that the appearance of this butterfly is indeed very high.

Very beautiful, very beautiful.

On Lin Xuan's finger, the golden-spotted beaked swallowtail butterfly, which had stopped for a while, suddenly flew up, and then flew to one place, but it didn't fly too fast, as if it was waiting for Lin Xuan to pass by.

Curious, Lin Xuan followed along with the three little guys.

The golden spotted-billed swallowtail took him to a very hidden jungle.

Lin Xuan, who had just arrived with the golden spotted beaked butterfly, was stunned when he saw the scene in front of him.

Not only Lin Xuan was shocked, but even the audience in the live broadcast room were also shocked.

I even forgot to post barrage.

Because in front of Lin Xuan and the audience, in this remote small forest, there are actually more than a dozen golden-spotted swallowtail butterflies dancing and flying.

No, yes, the golden spotted beaked swallowtail is very rare?

Why did so many suddenly appear today?

Lin Xuan was very shocked.

You know, the golden-spotted swallowtail is a first-class protected animal.

Usually, it is rarely seen.

Even in some countries, this butterfly has never appeared.

There are very few records in this area abroad.

[Su Yao from Xia State Institute of Endangered Animals; I never thought that one day, I would be able to see so many golden-spotted beaked butterflies! 】

The stunned audience saw that Mr. Su Yao was posting barrage, they reacted one after another, and started posting barrage as well.

【Old man Su, from what you said, were golden-spotted-billed swallowtails very rare in the past? 】

[Upstairs, isn't it superfluous to ask this question?That must be natural. If there are so many golden spotted beaked butterflies, how could it be listed as a first-class protected animal? 】

[Many times, it is because some animals are so rare and difficult to see that they are listed as protected animals. 】

[Su Yao: In the past, golden-spotted beaked butterflies were indeed very rare. For some reason, some unscrupulous people valued the golden-spotted beaked butterfly's appearance, so they wanted to keep it at home for viewing. 】

[This has caused the rareness of the golden spotted beaked butterfly to become extremely endangered. 】

[This is also why I became so excited when I saw so many golden-spotted swallowtail butterflies today. 】

Su Yao was very excited. Not only him, but other researchers in the institute were also very excited when they saw this scene.

After all, these are more than a dozen golden spotted beaked swallowtail butterflies, not just one.

Of course, if there is only one, it is still rare!
