Spring and summer, more than twenty thousand hectares of protected areas in Jinxiu clouds of deep forests, water gurgling, rippling Nabi, a natural and harmonious and beautiful picture. However, three or four months from the beginning of this year, a group of outsiders frequently appeared in the depths of the forest. Since they are expensed in the deep forests Jianyi Peng, students from the charcoal, to climb the mountain early in the morning, armed only with sticks large network, into the woods. April 11, several people Dayaoshan hinterland water Lingong An anxiety Branch ran a report that a gang of foreigners elusive, there is suspicion of the killing of rare butterflies. Dayaoshan national level to protect animal 4, in which beak butterfly gold plaque known as the "Zhenshanzhibao", is the world's most valuable rare butterfly species, the World Conservation Union (iucn) to include k r-class level or protected objects, in China, gold beak butterfly was listed as a spot protected animals, revered as the "National Butterfly", and David Panda par. 11 evening, after an emergency deployment, a task force involving six police quickly formed. That night, the secret police investigation of the county's various hotel and found no suspicious persons. The next morning, forestry police forces in three columns, put on dry food, Dayaoshan sneaked into the hinterland, have mastered the key areas in the ambush. For several days, but no trace of the group. II Dayaoshan vast area from the county to enter the core of ten hours to climb. In order to grasp the present, a number of police stationed in the mountains altogether. Ambush a few days, still did not see the butterfly, but a group of police at the first mountain range (for the protection of rare butterflies, more names withheld) was found in the woods there were many traces of human trampling and discarded instant noodles, ham intestinal packaging. Police estimate the target in the vicinity, then pit waiting. After a search, police found the suspect who had 13 butterfly. These may be identified squadron leader Guo Jinming rare swallowtail butterfly gold spot bill. In a decade when Dayaoshan forestry police, have not seen so many "countries Butterfly", police shocked! After interrogation, the suspect confessed that he was from Sichuan Baoxing, called Huang Zhengping, your looking for a person to Dayaoshan orchids, butterflies caught just for "fun" was readily caught. After the panel analysis finds only catch of the Huang Zhengping messenger of criminal gangs, the mountains, there must have the "big boss." After 10 days, the storm Dayaoshan every day. Once the storm is the gap when the butterfly events, the police have not neglect the rain every day up the mountain. April 24, climbed three-way police several hours after the ambush site II, easily Qindao another suspect PROCEEDINGS. Day, in the II sites, are the two policemen escorting PROCEEDINGS unexpected encounter with a suspect, to see the police, the suspect bolted and ran, police in hot pursuit. After climbing a few hills, the police finally called Wang Jinhua this "big boss" captured. From April 24 to 26, the panel 6 through untold and dangers police, arrested another seven from Sichuan even "butterfly killer" in the suspect's body and built Jianyi Peng captured 250 butterfly, Preliminary identification of all the precious gold beak spot butterflies. Of which only 13 still alive, the rest of the butterfly has been strangled into triangular paper bags made from dried specimens after the fire. After questioning, eight from Sichuan confessed to the killing of criminal suspects "National Butterfly" fact. They have long engaged in the sale of insect specimens, of which Wang Jinhua Sichuan Lushan County, a local minor celebrity of the "butterfly-business", these guys know the gold plaque from the textbooks are rare and valuable beaked butterfly butterfly, I heard Dayaoshan a butterfly's "paradise", it all the way to "make a fortune." C I Dayaoshan days of the interview, had the honor to see the beak of gold spot butterflies, which have been sold in Hong Yu die of butterflies, is now stored in the forestry police oven. Expand triangular paper bags, beautiful gold spot gold beak green butterfly wings, scales lanceolate, brown stripe around the wings are, there is a golden hind wings central spots, looks colorful and graceful posture. Why gold is so precious butterfly beak spot? Well-known insect experts, Guangxi Academy of Agricultural Sciences butterfly curator, postdoctoral Zeng Tao explained that butterflies are a gold beak spot protected animals, very scarce, the eighties of last century was designated as "National Butterfly", and David Giant Panda level par. The reason why people are more concerned about the giant panda, giant panda is because of large mammals, "target". But in the eyes of scientists, gold spot butterflies and giant beak just as precious. I asked Kim what is the use butterfly beak spot? Tao had made an analogy, the precious butterfly gold spot bill is that it is mysterious, as the painting "Mona Lisa" smile as mysterious as it is especially valuable. Currently, spot gold butterfly larvae beak morphology, host plants and ecological habits, is very mysterious to scientists. Had Tao, scientists spotted beak of gold is very limited understanding of butterfly, only know its distribution range, a year living generations, adult activities, a short time, a large breed affected by climate and other very limited information. Beak of gold spot female butterflies is difficult to see, Guangxi Academy of Sciences of JIANG Guo-fang Biology Dayaoshan researchers to look for many years, they were not found. Many researchers have devoted all his life did not see a female golden beak spot butterflies of nowhere. Experts generally believe that spot gold opened the mystery butterfly beak, to understand the "National Butterfly," the biological characteristics of insect community is not only a major contribution to the protection of nature and also have a significant impact on biological diversity. IV In order to protect the national key protected animals, illegal hunting of those who take strict punitive measures. Criminal law a provision that three hundred and fortieth, illegal hunting, killing of state protection of rare and endangered wildlife, or illegal purchase, transportation, sale of state protection of rare and endangered wildlife and products at 5 years of imprisonment or detention and a fine; serious at 5 to 10 years imprisonment or criminal detention and a fine; the circumstances are especially serious, more than 10 years imprisonment or criminal detention and a fine. For investigators said the illegal killing of Dayaoshan "National Butterfly" the number of butterfly gold spot beak is rare in the international arena, the suspect will be severely punished by law. Sadly, living in the depths of Jinxiu Dayaoshan long PANGXIDONG Township farm in the mountains when two farmers were hired to help catch the gang Sichuanese butterfly, caught only 10 yuan 1, the two farmers see profit, simply give up farming, hunting has become the "National Butterfly" accomplice. June 24, two farmers were arrested according to law. In mid-July, the prosecution case was prosecuted to the court. For the "National Butterfly" specimens will be closed after the transfer of scientific research institutions disposal.
