Butterflies / 蝴蝶


六月,陽明山的二子坪因盛開蜜源植物,吸引了很多了蝴蝶,我對蝴蝶滿天紛飛的畫面很嚮往,覺得自己不能錯過這樣美好的大自然。

Every June is the blooming period for nectar plants in Yangmingshan, Taipei, so butterflies swarm the mountain paths. I am tempted by a strong urge to see the fantastic scene of colorful fairies scattering the whole sky. 











        不只蝴蝶喔,毛毛蟲、瓢蟲、蜘蛛、蜜蜂都出席盛大的派對,大家盡情吃吃喝喝、在花草間自在地打滾。

   In fact, there are way more than butterflies. Caterpillars, ladybugs, spiders and bees are all part of the party. Everyone eats, plays and rolls happily among blossoming plants. 









        蝴蝶和花兒親吻著,更棒的是,吻都是甜甜的味道,還可以塞飽肚子呢!

   Butterflies can't stop kissing flowers. Better yet, the kisses are sweet and filling! 









        每年青斑蝶在秋季後會隨著東北季風往南移動,前往琉球群島或台灣等地越冬繁殖,直到隔年春天,後代再隨西南氣流往北移動,曾有在台灣被標記的青斑蝶在日本被發現。

   Based on some research, blue-spotted butterflies fly south in autumn to spend winter in the Ryukyu Islands or Taiwan. Next summer, their offsprings move back north. Certain blue-spotted butterflies tagged in Taiwan were once discovered in Japan. 

        小小的身軀,卻可以完成兩千公里的大旅行,我們都只是來陪青斑蝶走一小趟路程,我們是多幸運的伴遊啊!

   It's amazing that a small butterfly can accomplish the grand journey that covers 2,000 kilometers. We are all here to be their companions on a short leg of their trip, but how lucky we are!
