Giant butterflies, wingspan 30cm appear in Gia Lam

During the past few days, people in hamlet 7 (Dong Du, Gia Lam, Hanoi), suburban Hanoi, were surprised when they saw the giant butterfly, with wingspan of 30cm, appeared in the village.

>>>'Giant butterflies' were discovered in Malaysia

According to Dang Anh Tuyet, a few days ago, when her family was having dinner, watching the news, she heard the sound of flapping wings. Everyone looked up at the roof, saw the giant butterfly flying from the garden into the house.

Never seen any butterflies that big, so people panicked at first. Determining the spirit, seeing the butterfly so beautiful, Tuyet caught it, intending to force it into the book as a souvenir. However, the neighbors came and stopped them. In everyone's opinion, she released this butterfly.

Tuyet's butterfly caught as long as a cat.

Tuyet released the butterfly into the garden, she immediately flew away. But then it flew into the house later. According to her, the ability in the house to light electricity, so the butterfly kept flying in.

Early the next day, she released it into the garden, but parked one on the oval daisy for a while, she flew into her house again. The strange thing is that this butterfly kept flying to the turquoise wood and yen beans there. Does it like the aroma of jade wood? Seeing the strange, many people came to see it.

Compared to flower bricks of 40cm size.

Everyone was surprised because they had never seen such a big butterfly. It is several dozen times larger than regular butterflies. The wingspan of this butterfly is about 30cm long. There are many beautiful patterns on the wings of butterflies.

Mr. Dao Van Thuy, Tuyet's neighbor said, before that, he saw that there were big black pea seeds falling down the alley. He looked up at the umbrellas of the daisies and leaves in front of his house and Tuyet, saw a worm nearly as close as a sickle, looking very frightened.

This giant butterfly likes to park on the jade wood.

The worm is light green, with thorns that have white chalks flapping on its back. It chews leaves that make a cry. The area has worms, leaves and leaves of the skin are eaten fibrously and loosened. According to Mr. Thuy, maybe the worm closes the cocoon, then the cocoon has just hatched deeply. This newly hatched butterfly flies into Tuyet's house. Although newly hatched, it has such a huge size.

Some old people in Dong Du also shook their heads, not knowing what kind of butterflies are. It is confirmed that this is a starter butterfly. This butterfly appeared in the village in the 90s of the last century.

Carve caterpillars

At that time, there were butterflies on the star fruit tree, the flying birds, the pea-shaped beans, looked both beautiful and afraid. People are afraid, because its size is unusually large. However, they only appear once, then disappear. For many years, no one has seen them again. Maybe because people here spray chemical herbicides, kill deep on guava (Dong Du with guava specialty), so this giant butterfly also disappeared.

Old people call this giant butterfly a lady's butterfly. But its common name is the starter butterfly because it comes from the worm and cocoon on the star fruit tree.

Butterfly cocoon

From the story of the specifics, I noticed, seeing the edge of the tree in front of the tree in front of Tuyet's house, there were 2 well-summed star fruit trees. However, searching forever without seeing any cocoon.

Butterfly butterflies are species that often choose good plants, especially star fruit trees to lay eggs. Butterfly eggs with bean seeds, looks like star fruit buds.

Through the study, it is known that the butterfly named Scientific Attacus Atlas , is one of three butterfly species named in the Vietnam Red Book (butterflies, long tail butterflies, butterfly phoenix).

According to the Vietnam Red Book, the threat level for star fruit butter is classified as R (Rare: Rare, possibly endangered). This butterfly is recorded to be the largest in our country and in the world, with a wingspan of 25 - 30cm.

Butterfly is a species of butterflies are hunted collectively by the world. In Europe, starfish butterflies are sold for a few hundred dollars. So, in many countries, this butterfly farming has been carried out to serve the handicraft industry.

Huge starter butterflies caught in Indonesia in 1922.

In Indonesia's Java island, scientists obtained a 26.2cm wingspan with a wingspan in 1922. This butterfly pattern is considered giant. However, with a wingspan of up to 30cm, the butterfly that Tuyet caught was really huge.

A few years ago, Thai people were also feverish when a person in Phitsanulok province caught the 27cm wingspan. Thai people have a habit of looking at the patterns on the wings of the starter butterflies that can be used to play the lottery.
