brief introduction

During the growth period of their hometown, they visit flowers everywhere to collect honey, and convert the glucose inhaled into fat, which is stored in the body. When the cool autumn wind gradually turns into the cold north wind, all kinds of purple butterflies begin to embark on the journey to the remote Purple Butterfly Valley. According to the results of the investigation by the method of butterfly wing burrow number tracking, the butterflies in the flat and low mountain areas fly directly from the growing place to the nearby coast, fly out of the land, and fly to the south through the sea. They usually re-enter the land from the coast near Chaozhou and go straight to the Purple Butterfly Valley. Butterflies of deep mountains and high mountains. Then they went down the mountain to the waist of the central mountain in Pingtung County, and temporarily lived in the higher mountain valley, and then with the temperature decreasing. The cold current came, and then moved to the lower mountains. This migration sometimes occurs several times and forms a larger group.

Finally, before the severe winter, they gather in the Purple Butterfly Valley, their desired destination. After a large group of purple spot butterflies gather, if they are not harassed, they will live through the winter quietly for several months, waiting for the coming of the next spring.
