Kim Foshan West Poji

Before the main entrance to the West Po became the tourists of Jinfoshan, we hiked many times at this area and chose the first -line sky resort next to the gate. There is a unique small canyon in the resort (we took a lot of shots in that small canyon in that small canyon. Rare insects, such as Ke's headflies, were once known as the four rare dragonflies in Hong Kong). This is a hidden level in Jinfoshan, and few people know.

For me, the front line is a place with special significance.

First of all, the front line is where I was obsessed with the lights. Before that, I also participated in many lights, but the continuous lighting alone was completed in the front line.

I still remember that night in June, after meals, I sat alone in the front -line holiday village courtyard. There were no other tourists, no other light, and a lamp I hanged corresponded to the night sky. Everything is quiet, only insects. From 20:00, I couldn't sit still. The insects all the way in the air flashed their wings and reported to the lights. Many of them were strange visitors.

I have been busy until 23:30 and recorded dozens of insects. I plan to rest until 24:00. Just when I yawned and counted the harvest of the camera, a small knowingly learned that it gently drifted over my head and fell on the cloth.

I took a closer look. I have never seen the cicada species, like 蚱 cicadas, but the overall is long, and other structures are very different. I searched hard in my head, but I couldn't find any relevant information. Is it a new species? I move in my heart. Many years later, my conjecture was confirmed that it was a new species that has not been published by Bishan.

After recording this, I rest, and then transfer the alarm to 3 am.

At 3 o'clock, I came to the courtyard slowly, and the only thing like 蚱 cicada was gone. At the place where it stayed before, another was equally slender. I saw it complicated with brown eyes, red monocular eyes, a slightly tea color of the front wings, and blue in the wings veins. It was like a delicate crafts.

This is the blue cicada of Cicada Cicada. There are very few types of genus and few people who have seen it. I did not expect that there was this wonderful species in Jinfoshan. I jumped happily in front of the lamp. After all, it was midnight and did not dare to laugh loudly.

Later, I seduced several times on the front -line lights. Hua Cong Fun, Green Globe Tattoo Moth, and White Pickled Basha Anta were very ornamental insects, which were taken here to take the opportunity to shoot.

What excites us most is one year later, and in June, under our lights, an extraordinary visiting visitors latched the deep mountains.

La Chashan Mountain Armor is sought after by beetle enthusiasts, and it is also a representative large -scale tadpole of Asia. This one happens to be male. It has a long jaw, ears standing like elephant ears, full of fine hair. This is the most ornamental tadpole we found in Chongqing.

In the first line, it still made me overcome the snake. The small canyon is dark and the woods are lush, which is the ideal habitat of the snake. We explored at night in the canyon and often encountered snakes. In the encounters again and again, I gradually adapted to this sudden strange creature, and I saw a unique beauty and power from them. Perhaps it was this "seeing" change me. Later It is a great fun to find a camera to find a snake.

Since 2015, Bitan Yougu has become my key observation line. This canyon collects water sources below the west slopes within a certain range. From the downhill of the ropeway, you can walk through the gorge. The gap is large, the vegetation is good, and the water is moisturizing all the way. It is an excellent hiking line.

In March, Bitan Yougu can watch wild flowers. Early spring, enter from the entrance below, just get back in half, because there is no wild flower movement at the high altitude. In April, you can walk throughout. The beautiful Tongquan grass at the entrance is the first target species. Along the way, you can observe dozens of wild flowers, which is intoxicating.

When I shoot insects, I prefer to go from top to bottom, because in the morning when I go, the sun is from top to bottom, walking down with the sun, observing insects is more favorable.

In the Bitan Valley area, I have a lot of records that are worth mentioning. For example, I observed that the mud bee attacking cockroaches is extremely thrilling.

△ 与 mud bee and 蠊 蠊

The mud bee has the skills of wizards and assassins. At the same time, as a natural enemy of cockroaches, the familiarity and understanding of the latter's body structure has become instinct. When it encounters cockroaches in the wild, it will bite the cockroach's head with the jaw first, bend the abdomen, and stabbed into the cockroach's chest with precisely, and make it paralyzed by anesthesia. At this time, it will launch a second attack and bend the abdomen again. This time, it will be stabbed into the cockroach brain accurately, causing its nerve center to fall into chaos. After the second attack, cockroaches will fall into a blind state of happiness and lose their vigilance and reaction ability to the outside world. In fact, it has become a happy and obedient cow. Go home. After arriving at home, after the lane bees spawned on it, they sealed the nest and left. The cockroaches that have been alive have become fresh foods for mud bee larvae.

The phase of the species is really a complex and cruel mechanism. In this mechanism, the individual's life is always extremely fragile and helpless, and the chance of changing the life is too low.

Because it is accompanied by streams, it is also very suitable for observing dragonflies. I took more than a dozen dragonflies in this area. Due to the large number of shooting opportunities, the success rate was much higher than other places. From May, Bitan Yougu has entered a great time for butterflies to watch. There are many areas that are difficult for humans to enter the west slope of more than 1,000 meters, which has become a shelter for many animals and plants. It also shelters many beautiful butterflies. Bitan Yougu is one of the many butterflies of Jinfoshan.

According to my many years of observation and evaluation, the butterflies that Bitan Yougu can observe more than 80 species. What is even more rare is that the butterflies that are difficult to see in other parts of Chongqing will also appear here.

I have experienced the experience of taking a butterfly in Bitan Yougu many times. Pick up the nearest time.

On August 16, 2021, we arrived at Ximen at 9 am. Bitan Yougu Scenic Area has been closed because of the natural disasters. We are specially approved by the Nature Reserve Administration and Scenic Area, and the staff will be led by the staff.

The insect scholars Zhang Weiwei, Liu Xingyue, etc., the staff were a young man who took us to the entrance from the parking place. Half the road, I suddenly had a meal and quietly escaped. On the sidewalk, a few butterflies were enjoying the morning light there and suck desperately. I recognized two butterflies and a blue phoenix butterfly. It is one of the medium -sized butterflies that make me extremely excited. Its wings on the front of the wings are gray -black but covered with sapphire -like luster. The outer edge has erythema connecting arcs, and there is leucorrhea in the middle area. Butterfly. It is a bit like the butterflies I have taken in the mountains I have photographed in the mountainous area of ​​Diembu County, Gansu.

I let myself calm down, and I was too excited to be stable, and then squatted down slowly and slowly passed the camera.

This is a brocade butterfly. For 20 years in Chongqing, I have met for the first time. After taking the shot, I beckoned Zhang Weiwei back again. He was standing at the entrance and waiting for me doubt. I don't know why I suddenly didn't leave.

When Zhang Weifei lay on the ground and patted the brocade butterfly, I started to track another butterfly. I have recognized that it is a Mihuan butterfly, and it is a bit like Shengli butterfly in the distance.

If you want to shoot butterflies, the first wave of sunlight in the morning is particularly important, especially in the dark valley. The place where the sun is first illuminated by the sun can always attract all kinds of butterflies to charge.

We went up the stream with the staff. He was a young man and was very enthusiastic. Dr. Liu Xingyue is the purpose of studying pulse wings and scan the net. And I look for butterflies to keep quiet. So while walking, it is naturally separated from each other.

The young man always followed me, saying that I was here, knowing that I worked in the wild in Jinfoshan for a long time, and also spoke to Jinfoshan on TV shows.

I said, yes, I have worked in the Golden Foshan Nature Reserve Administration, and endorsement is necessary.

We walked forward while observing. Suddenly, he yelled behind me. I looked back and saw that he flushed with his face, and pointed to him with his hands and said that a bamboo leaf Qing just rushed from his feet.

This broad area of ​​Bitan Yougu is indeed a lot of snakes. Once I took a few family night visits, and I took a original spell -headed snake here.

I turned around and chased along the direction of his fingers, where there was a trace of snake in the grass.

The gorge was slightly overcast, and there was nothing to find on the road. When I walked until the monkey area, the sun was exposed to my body. I judged that the rocks that monkeys had moved should attract butterflies, so I was drinking tea there, and she really waited for several pearl track butterflies. This is a very obvious characteristic of the butterfly. The front and back of the front and rear wings are leucorrhea formed by circular spots, like a string of beads.

After that, some common butterflies came. Time passed quickly, and I came in for two hours. This time should be returned. I was a little unwilling to scan the area again before leaving.

On the way back, I saw a thing similar to the ruler moth stopped at Feifei. I glanced at the end of the tentacle. This was a butterfly. Follow it quickly. After about 20 meters, it found what I wanted to eat next to the dead leaves and stopped steadily. Then I saw that it was a cat and butterfly, and the hind wings had obvious white areas. This is another kind of legend that Chongqing has a species that we have never seen. Now, I finally saw it.

Bai Chang Cat Die is a very sensitive butterfly. Later, when I saw it behind the twelve of Guizhou, I saw it twice again, and I couldn't approach. Fortunately, this gave me a chance.

After a hurry to eat at noon, Zhang Weiwei and I rushed back to Bitan Yougu again, continued to track the butterflies, and the harvest in the morning gave me great encouragement.

Going back in the morning, I encountered a strange butterfly. There were several, black back, and occasionally exposed with bright blue spots. I like to fly back in front of people. I followed one of them patiently and went back and forth for seven or eight minutes. It finally stopped in the darkness under the shrub, but it only stopped for less than 10 seconds. This is enough, and my long -prepared camera quickly locked it.

This is the blue spots of Lili Eye -eye butterfly. I have taken its blurred figure. This time, I really took it clearly. Unfortunately, there was no chance to take a better front of it.

I returned to a wide place and there was a puddle on the ground. I think it should be able to attract the butterflies that have been acted. Zhang Weiwei also felt the same. We sat down by the side of the sail and waited for the rabbit.

In order to increase the attractiveness of the porcis, I sprinkled some water to increase its area, and I took some soil and threw it in the water. Soon, the butterfly came. The first thing was the two -tailed butterfly and the rice butterfly. We kept the soldiers, and then came with a high -value broadband green phoenix butterfly. Then, a female with a big purple butterfly was also a star -grade species.

△ Da Ziri Butterfly

We waited for work, took the butterflies and took pictures.

Around 17:00, I had gone out of the valley of Bitan, and I saw some time, and returned to the canyon alone to see if I could expand the results.

On a rock, I found an Emei butterfly that was inhaling. It was interesting that it was also bent on the abdomen at the same time and sprayed water. I quickly patted this wonderful moment.

△ Emei Lake Butterfly

Butterflies will absorb water and spray water. Water absorption is to supplement minerals. In order to add more, it will spray the water filtered out of the minerals. The easiest thing to observe is the sprays of water. A water column floats out of the tail, as if there is a transparent tail. Unlike the phoenix butterfly, the water spraying of the butterfly is very strange. They will work hard to bend their tails and spray the water back to their position. In an environment that lacks water, the butterfly that is good at saving water rely on this stunt to increase the opportunity to survive. Of course, this way of circulating water is absolutely dare not imitate.

At this time, the Cuili butterfly and the dead leaf butterflies that did not appear all day appeared, as if this was a time that belonged to them, and the owner flew around in a prominent place.

When I was pondering which one and the shooting, a huge stink frog suddenly came out of the grass, jumped to the middle of the road, and jumped into the grass on the other side.

Not good! I have enough experience, hurry up and take two steps.

In the wild, if there are frogs or lizards jumping from the grass to the road, this kind of active leaving the concealed place and exposing themselves to the open area of ​​the open area, the biggest possibility is that the deadly hunter snake is tracking them.

If you do n’t know if the snake is toxic, the correct action avoids conflict with it and withdraw from the risk area.

△ Black Snake

I only retreated to half, and a black snake flew out of the grass. The height of the jumper was over 1.5 meters, and the length of the snake exceeded 2 meters. My appearance was interfered with it, and it observed me for a few seconds, and then bowed my head to the grass and disappeared. ("Green China" 2022.8A)
