The Jumbo King Butterfly, part 12

Hi everyone's!!!

Meetings me again on the @ashaf blog, of course in order to introduce insect species that dominate certain areas in the wild that grow and develop in their areas.

In this good opportunity, we will introduce an old species which has a different size than usual. It is the "Coastal Monarch".
As usual, when late in the afternoon I always look for photo objects by relying on my smartphone camera in the form of VIVO Y12 with the aim of posting on this beloved platform, namely #hive.blog.

This afternoon I would like to capture one of the natural phenomena that often occurs recently in our area, namely "sunset", but today's situation is unlucky because today's natural atmosphere is covered with dense clouds so that the sun is not visible, but my attention is focused on insect species which differ from species in general in size.

A jumbo monarch butterfly

Maybe you are very familiar with one of the butterfly species that I often post on my blog, namely a monarch butterfly on the shore. If I am not mistaken in posting for him, I have posted 11 times with different titles and different images.

In our territory these butterflies are called monarch butterflies, this is because they always control the area of ​​plants that grow and develop wildly anywhere, when they control a plant location, other butterfly species will leave. This location means that other types of butterflies are defeated by all the activities carried out by the Butterfly of Monarchs.

But what's interesting about this species is that it has a body size that is different from the monarch butterfly in general. If an ordinary butterfly has a body size of about 2 inches long and about 1.5 inches wide then this monarch butterfly has a body size of a child's palm or about 6 inches long with a width of about 4 inches but the accuracy of the data is not accurate (just a rough calculation). This is known because the approach is very difficult, in taking photos must stand about 1.5 meters from the focus object.

The population

This jumbo monarch butterfly is seen in only one tail on the bank of a salt water river, precisely on the coast of Pusong Lama Village, Lhokseumawe, Aceh. His presence was only one tail while the other herd was not visible, it is not known why he was alone in the area while the other herd did not come with him.

If we look at the differences with the monarch butterfly in general, it does not have the slightest difference, either in terms of color or other characteristics, but differences in terms of size. In general, this size is only owned by moths, not this species. Maybe this is what is said to the natural wonders that are around us.

When looking at it, regarding all the differences from the monarch butterfly in general, I myself plan to capture it with the intention of looking deeper into its character and other things that are in accordance with the research protocol, but this is very difficult because, it is very, very wild. Never mind to catch him, just approaching him at close range he will immediately escape from our surveillance.
Moreover, when he was found he did not bring any special equipment to catch it, so that made it difficult to get it.

Planned to meet his cocoon

Since he could not master his massive physique due to the above, he would personally look for the former cocoon as a starting place to observe this. Finding the original location is not difficult because in the area there is one wild plant that is not as big as other plants.

Because they cannot master their physical differences like monarch butterflies in general, due to the reasons above, they will personally look for the former cocoon as a starting place to observe these oddities. Finding the original location is not difficult because in the area there is one wild plant that is not as big as other plants.

If the cocoon to be found or where it comes from is large (jumbo) then it is not surprising why jumbo but if the cocoon is normal then something has happened, meaning that its large size is an impact of nature itself, at least the body has been contaminated with one of the magic substances that can increase the size of a butterfly the jumbo itself.

Thus, substances that contaminate its body are also present in the area of ​​the cocoon, because visually the butterfly's eye has just emerged from the cocoon and is still in the area where it perches.
However, in my opinion, what makes its body size bigger than the monarch butterfly in general is due to things that are commonplace and very often present in every animal but these events are very rare.

Natural wonders often happen to every animal, both animals that live in the oceans and those that live on land, the point is that nature itself often gives birth to miraculous things, so that people call it "Natural Wonders" or "Amazing Nature".

That is a brief description of the magical jumbo butterfly in my opinion, but this is different from your opinion here, that is life that has differences but is essentially one. Hopefully this is useful for all of us.
