The scientific research team of the Nanling National Nature Reserve discovered a new habitat of butterflies of the golden Kaiser-i-Hind at an altitude of more than 1,600 meters above sea level in the reserve and took precious high-definition images of the discovery. This is the first time that the reserve has recorded such an up-close and high-definition video. The golden Kaiser-i-Hind is the only butterfly species under first-class state protection in China, ranking first among the eight precious butterflies in the world. It is known as “the queen of butterflies”, which is extremely rare to be spotted in the wild.

近日，广东南岭国家级自然保护区科研团队在保护区海拔1600米以上的地方发现了金斑喙凤蝶新的栖息地，并拍摄下高清的珍贵影像。这是广东南岭国家级自然保护区首次拍摄到这么近距离、高清晰度的影像记录。金斑喙凤蝶是中国唯一的蝶类国家一级重点保护野生动物，位列世界八大名贵蝴蝶之首，有“梦幻蝴蝶”“蝶中皇后”之美誉，野外生存数量非常稀少、极罕见。
