At a zoo in Vienna, Austria, Omurasaki, a gift from a civic organization in Hyogo prefecture, has for the first time emerged from an egg and flapping its vivid blue-violet wings.
The Schoenbrunn Zoo in Vienna was donated to the Schoenbrunn Zoo by a citizen group in Tamba City, Hyogo Prefecture, four years ago, for the first time.
Omurasaki is designated as a national butterfly of Japan and is designated as a national butterfly, and from the eggs laid at the zoo, it emerges as an adult butterfly for the first time this summer, flapping its colorful blue-violet wings.
According to the zoo, it is the first time it has succeeded in eclosion from an egg to a place outside its habitat such as Japan.
At the zoo, we have ordered the larvae of enoki from Japan, and we have kept them at a humidity and temperature close to that of the Tanba forest, says Weissenbach, the chief of breeding. “It was a difficult road. I'm really happy to succeed in emergence. I want to go to Tamba and use it for future breeding."
Omurasaki is one of the symbols of exchange between Japan and Austria, and Takaaki Adachi, the chairman of the Hyogo Tamba Omurasaki Society, who donated Omurasaki, said, "I think it was a good challenge. It has become.”
