"Among all the butterflies in the world, those whose wings change color are few and far between, and then it's most often to just one color," says Ch'en Weishou, a lepidopterist and high school biology teacher, explaining why the Orchid Island monarch butterfly is so precious.
「全世界的蝴蝶中，翅膀鱗片（翅膀上的彩色粉末）會轉換顏色的已寥寥可數，且多僅能轉換一個顏色」，蝶類專家、成功高中生物老師陳維壽說，珠光黃裳鳳蝶因此彌足珍貴。
