Observations by postgraduate student Li Hui-yung have confirmed that six Southeast-Asian butterfly species have successfully bred in Taiwan. One of them, the golden birdwing (Troides aeacus), has also set a record by flying to Japan, into the territory of temperate- and cold-zone butterflies.
根據台大昆蟲系研究生李惠永的觀察記錄，目前確定在台灣順利繁殖第二代的東南亞蝴蝶有綠斑鳳蝶、綠小灰蝶、紅粉蝶、紅斑大鳳蝶、黃裳鳳蝶和大黃裙粉蝶，其中黃裳鳳蝶還創下「飛行記錄」，遠至日本、入侵溫帶和寒帶蝴蝶的紀錄。
