  The largest number of butterflies that broke out in Ma'andi Township was the arrow ring butterfly. The arrow ring butterfly is an indigenous butterfly at the saddle bottom.

  According to the principles of ecology, the sudden explosive growth of the number of certain animals must be a major change in the factors that restrict it in the environment. After such an outbreak, it will usually return to its original normal state within a certain period of time.

  So why is the butterfly population at the bottom of the saddle so huge every year and lasts for many years?

  Ma'andi Township is located in the south of the Tropic of Cancer. It is a transitional zone between the northern and southern subtropics. The annual average temperature is around 18℃, the forest coverage rate is 67%, and the elevation ranges from the intersection of the Red River and Longbo River at 105 meters to the top of Mount Wutai. 3012 meters. Because of the large altitude difference, the obvious three-dimensional climate, the rich forest resources, and the basic ecological environment suitable for the survival of butterflies, it has created the possibility of a large explosion for butterflies.

  According to monitoring, due to the low temperature in the early part of this year and the frequent occurrence of extreme local weather, the butterfly outbreak this year is about 20 days later than last year. Yang Zhenwen said: "The first major outbreak this year will be on June 5, which will probably continue until 25. Japan, the number of outbreaks is basically the same as last year, and it is expected to be more than 100 million."
