On March 10, our reporter accompanied Zhu Xiaoming, a butterfly watcher, to "Butterfly Valley" in the north of Huangpi District where all kinds of butterflies were "waking up" after winter.
3月10日，记者跟随观蝶达人朱小明前往黄陂区北部一条峡谷中，这里到处都是越冬后“苏醒”的各色蝴蝶，被称为“蝴蝶谷”。

Along a narrow path, butterflies were seen from time to time on stones, above pools and on grass leaves. Zhu could easily identify them all and call out their scientific names. He has observed more than 50 kinds of butterflies in the valley.
走在窄窄的山道上，石头上、水潭处、草叶间，不时有一只蝴蝶蹁跹起舞。朱老师都能一一辨认。朱老师在此处记录了50多种蝴蝶。
Sha Xi, head of the Wuhan
Ecological Environment Science and
Technology Center, said that the
coverage of plants in the city and
the number of butterflies are
roughly proportional to each other.
The increasing number of butterflies
in the valley is a proof of the
improvement of the biodiversity and
ecological environment in Wuhan.
武汉市生态环境科技中心负责人沙茜表示，城市周边的植物越来越丰富，蝴蝶数量也会越来越多。蝴蝶谷正是武汉生物多样性得到改善、生态环境得到较大提升的证明。
