"The insects are disturbed as they look for mates and procreate, and consequently fewer are born," says Hsu Feng-yuan, a teacher with the Nature Education Association of Taipei. "Moreover, the snails, slugs and earthworms that the young bugs like to eat have also been reduced in population because, with the elimination of various wild grasses, they have lost much of the humus they eat!"
「成蟲的求偶、交配大受干擾，繁殖量減低；而幼蟲們愛吃的蝸牛、蛞蝓、蚯蚓等食物，也因為許多雜草被除去，缺乏食物也不見了！」長年觀察昆蟲的大自然教育推廣協會教師徐鳳園說，關心自然當然是好事，但千萬不要忽略生態旅遊該遵守的規範。
