The "air tanker" on the 100 -day chrysanthemum

Hundred Days Chrysanthemum and Fei Panthels

Today, when I walked to Puzhou Wetland Park, I wanted to go to shoot birds. I just walked into the park, but found that the chrysanthemum opened for a hundred days. There are many butterflies flying in the flowers, and many of them are long beak moths, and bees are rare.

Hundred -day chrysanthemum, because of its long flowering period, is native to Mexico, with colorful colors, tall figures, and strong life. It is a world -renowned ornamental plant.

The plant has a single petal, severe petal, curls, wrinkles and various colors of gardening varieties of different colors. It is widely cultivated in all parts of my country. It is also a common gardening flower in Ningbo. The major parks and green belts are allocated. They are lonely and elegant, gorgeous, and gorgeous planting.

The hundred -day chrysanthemum is too familiar. Usually passing them around, at most just glances, knowing that there is a hundred days of chrysanthemum here, and rarely stops at staring at these gorgeous flowers.

The moment I saw the butterfly and moths, I suddenly thought of "a key opens a lock". Many plants and pink passers often have exclusive correspondence, such as the pine fat mosquito and five flavors mentioned in the previous article. , Octagon, banyan bee and 、, figs, and so on.

Why does this butterfly and moth appear in a hundred -day chrysanthemum, but there are few bees?

Then I stopped and found a single -petal hundred -day chrysanthemum began to observe. Single -petal flower is the closest flower style of the species, which is more typical.

There are two kinds of flowers like many chrysanthemum plants. The gorgeous flowers on the outside of the edge are called tongue -shaped flowers. Their main responsibilities are to tell the fans through the bright colors that there is a big meal here to enjoy.

In the middle of the flowers, the small flower with five petals in the golden yellow is called tubular flowers. There are pistils inside, and these flowers are the flowers that can be passed on to generation.

These tube -shaped flowers are hidden at the bottom of the flower tube. The bees, aphids and flies with relatively short mouths can not eat nectar at all, so they rarely visit the hundreds of chrysanthemums.

Only insects with long antennas such as butterflies and long beak moths can extend from the mouth of the small flower to the bottom and suck the food hidden in it.

Hundred Days Chrysanthemum and Qingfeng Butterfly

From the observation, when the butterfly and the long beak sky moth reach into the outlet, it will stick to the pollen on it. When it accesss the next flower, it helps a hundred day chrysanthemum to achieve the powder.

Both butterflies and long beaks are insects with ultra -long mouthigan, but in terms of efficiency, it is obvious that the butterfly powder is more efficient.

Filbao's long legs can easily stand in the middle of the tube flower with their long legs. The mouthpiece is pulled out from a flower and immediately reached into a flower next to it. On one side.

The long beak moth belongs to the "air refueling" method of eating nectar, and quickly fanned by the wings to hang his fat body in the air. A big flower seems to only reach a tube flower, so you hurried to the next next time Blossom.

It is worth mentioning that the long mouth of the butterflies and long beaks and beak moths is very fun. When using this "treasure", it is stretched straight to facilitate the tube -shaped flower. When a flower is a flower, the mouth is rolled up like mosquito coils, just like the "golden hoop stick" that is free to place, and it is amazing.

There are so many attractive things in nature. Just like this at the hundred days of chrysanthemum, the eyes follow the busy figures of the butterfly moths in the flowers, and they passed all at once. But this day is too hot, I have to go home earlier.
