The Food Plants and Nectar Source Plants of the Butterfly Larvae from Dongpu to Batongguan in Yushan National Park
英文摘要
This is a compilation of the survey of butterflies from Dongpu to Batongguan conducted by the butterfly survey team of the Yushan National Park Headquarters from March 1988 to February 1989. When the survey was published, there was no room to include this compilation. However, butterflies and plants have an inseparable relationship. Larvae mostly feed on plants, and adult butterflies feed on honey (honey source). The ecological management of butterflies depends not only on knowing and introducing the kinds of food and nectar source plants that butterflies like to feed on, and establishing a butterfly path or trail, but also understanding the other butterfly species associated with these plants, so that this knowledge can be used to predict the effect of these plants on the organisms native to the environment. This comprehensive compilation includes 503 species from 84 families of food and nectar source plants that the butterfly larvae feed on in the area and the butterfly species that feed on these plants and honey.
