What can butterflies do for green flowering plants?

The main job of butterflies is to teach pollen.

The feeding objects of butterfly larvae vary according to the species, and most larvae feed on leaves; Some species, such as pollen butterflies, orange spotted pink butterflies, etc., are voracious flower buds; There are also some species that eat young pods or young fruits, such as pods gray butterfly eats young pods, and gardenia gray butterfly eats young gardenia fruits. In addition, in the gray butterfly family, there are a few species of larvae that are carnivorous, for example, the scale gray butterfly eats the coffee scale, and the bamboo aphid gray butterfly feeds exclusively on the bamboo aphid, this carnivorous species is a rare beneficial insect in the butterfly family.

The larvae that feed on the leaves of plants, such as the early stage of the first instar, often gnaw on the mesophyll on the back of the leaves, leaving the epidermis, forming transparent spots like glass windows, and later the larvae eat the leaves through perforations, or encroach inward from the leaf margins; As the insect grows, so does the amount of food it eats. When the density of insects on a plant is high, the whole plant is eaten up.

Most butterflies suck nectar, and in the case of nectar-sucking butterflies, they not only suck nectar, but also love to suck the nectar of certain plants, such as the blue butterfly that sucks the nectar of lily plants; Cabbage butterflies suck the nectar of cruciferous plants; The leopard butterfly sucks the nectar of Asteraceae plants and so on; Some butterflies that do not suck nectar include bamboo-eyed butterflies that suck fig juice; The lavender butterfly sucks the sour pulp of sick oak and poplar; There are also some butterflies that feed on the flesh of grapes, and butterflies often suck in grape fields.

Extended Materials. Butterflies are preyed upon by various predators, i.e., prey. Butterflies are located at the bottom of the food web and are prey for other animals, including birds, lizards, spiders, praying mantises, dragonflies, frogs, etc., most of which are agile or set traps to catch visiting flowers or even adult butterflies in flight.

Butterflies also have parasitic predators at almost all stages of their juvenile stage.

Small ovate wasps, cocoon wasps, large wasps, parasitic flies, nematodes, etc., lay their eggs on butterfly eggs, larvae, or pupae depending on the species. When their larvae hatch, they feed on the host's tissue. This kind of parasite usually leads to the death of the host when it absorbs the host's nutrients and grows up, and this kind of relationship is parasitic, and most of the parasitic organisms and the host are obligate.

In addition, bacteria, viruses, and fungi are all microorganisms that make them sick.

The blue butterfly, also known as the butterfly pea flower, is a leguminous plant named for its blue flowers that resemble butterflies. The blue butterfly comes in two colors, white and blue-purple, and the flowers are as beautiful as their name, as if a butterfly was dancing. When the flowers of the blue butterfly are in full bloom, they have an elegant posture and resemble a group of fluttering butterflies, hence the name blue butterfly.

Blue butterflies can not only be used for ornamentation, but also can be soaked in water to drink, which has certain health benefits. But there are many folk rumors that the blue butterfly is a poisonous plant and should not be approached too closely. Are these rumors true? Let's take a look at what the science says.

Native to India, the blue butterfly is a characteristic plant in Southeast Asia, also known as butterfly pea flower. The flower stems of blue butterflies contain some toxins, but the effect is not great. In addition, it also has a certain effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, so the toxicity of blue butterfly flowers is relatively very weak and negligible.

As long as it is not consumed blindly and excessively, it will not cause harm to the human body.

The role of the blue butterfly.

1. Medicinal value.

Blue butterfly is a plant rich in vitamins A, C and E, which can enhance people's immunity, help people promote elasticity and collagen, and at the same time replenish the brain, which is conducive to promoting brain vitality. Did you know that the root of the blue butterfly has a laxative and diuretic effect?

2. Soak in water to drink.

The flowers of the blue butterfly we can use to soak in water to drink, it has a good health care effect, can also prevent and treat stomach pain, has a certain sedative effect, is conducive to anti-depression, anti-stress, etc., if we have the conditions, add lemon in it, mix it into a flower tea drink, there will be a better effect, it is simply an excellent drink to maintain the heart and blood vessels.

3. Food dyes.

Blue butterfly flowers have a natural blue pigment in them, so they can be used as a food dye or in cocktails. In Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore and other regions, the pigment of blue butterfly flowers is often used to dye pastries.

Another name for the blue butterfly.

Blue butterfly, also known as purple butterfly, flower butterfly, purple butterfly flower, Uganda zhentong.

Growth habits of blue butterflies.

The blue butterfly itself does not have high requirements for soil, and it is generally better to use sandy soil and require good drainage. Blue butterflies prefer high temperatures, to keep the breeding temperature between 23 -32, the light should be sufficient, half day full sunshine can be. In winter, it is necessary to pay attention to heat preservation.

When breeding blue butterflies, they can be pruned appropriately.

The flower language of the blue butterfly.

The flower language of the blue butterfly is willing to meet you here.

The blue butterfly is noble, misty, beautiful, elegant, just like its name, and the blue flowers, like beautiful angels, are so dazzling and dazzling.

Plants attract butterflies with a variety of fragrant scents and bright colors to spread pollen for plants, and plants provide food for butterflies.

Butterflies suck nectar, as far as nectar-sucking butterflies are concerned, they not only suck nectar, but also love to suck the nectar of the skin of some specific plants, such as the blue butterfly likes to suck the nectar of lily plants; Cabbage butterflies suck the nectar of cruciferous plants;

The potato leopard butterfly sucks the nectar of Asteraceae plants and so on; Some butterflies that do not suck nectar include bamboo-eyed butterflies that suck fig juice liquid and burn hand residues; The lavender butterfly sucks the sour pulp of sick oak and poplar; There are also some butterflies that feed on the flesh of grapes, and butterflies often suck in grape fields.

Butterflies suck answers.

Nectar, as far as nectar-sucking butterflies are concerned, they not only suck nectar, but also like to suck the nectar of certain plants, such as the blue butterfly that sucks the nectar of lily plants; Cabbage butterflies suck the nectar of cruciferous plants;

The leopard butterfly sucks the nectar of Asteraceae plants and so on; Some butterflies that do not suck nectar include bamboo-eyed butterflies that suck fig juice; The lavender butterfly sucks the sour pulp of sick oak and poplar; There are also some butterflies that feed on the flesh of grapes, and butterflies often suck in grape fields.

Extended information: After butterfly larvae bite through the egg shell and hatch out, some species take a break and directly eat the host plant;

Some species (e.g. red-eyed bamboo) feed on egg shells and then plants. There are also some species that need to feed on the old epidermis shed during each molt, such as the butterfly and the butterfly.

The feeding objects of butterfly larvae vary according to the species, and most larvae feed on leaves; Some species, such as pollen butterflies, orange spotted pink butterflies, etc., are voracious flower buds;

Plants rely on copying insects to spread pollen to pistils for insemination and to provide nectar and pollen to attract insects. Insects such as butterflies and bees feed on nectar or pollen.

Insects have evolved special structures (such as the fluff on the feet of bees, the sacs that collect honey, the long curling mouthparts of butterflies) to suck nectar and pass pollen.

Flowers also evolve special structures (e.g., nectar at the bottom of a long flower, which butterflies can suck in with their long mouthparts) to adapt to insect dispersal and nectar collection.

The more classic ones are figs and ficus wasps, where the fertilized female fig wasps carry pollen, burrow into the female flowers closed by figs, reproduce the wasps in them and die. The newborn wasp burrows a small hole away from the fig and proceeds to the next round of reproduction.

Coevolution has reached such an extent that without the ficus figs could not be fertilized at all, and without the figs, the female figs could not lay eggs.

Butterflies suck nectar on flowers.

Usually the flowers release a special scent to attract butterflies, and nectar is the bait. When butterflies suck nectar, they help the flowers spread pollen. Bees are not like bees in that they mostly collect nectar rather than eat it.

The flowers emit an alluring scent to the butterflies, helping them to transmit pollen (because butterflies don't eat nectar), and flowers of different colors emit different scents.

Bees collect nectar in the flowers, butterflies fly in the flowers, and the insects are attracted by the flowers of the plants to absorb the nectar, but the insects fly in the flowers to absorb the nectar process, and also complete the pollination process for the plants

Therefore, a
