Encountered a Xiaomi on the beach in Puerto Rico. Is she pretty? Listen to Uncle Bee.

 

Evening by the sea
Cool breeze
Almost seven o’clock in the evening
You are still working hard to collect honey

Not wanting to be photographed
See me often
You leave

Fourth time
You get used to my existence
Finally let me take pictures on my phone
Your beautiful face

Seven o’clock this morning
You are working hard again
Still waiting for my arrival?
I bring a full camera
Record your style

By the sea in Puerto Rico
On Calotropis procera flower
Our two puppets
Also a beautiful story
Than encounters with people
Even more intoxicating …

2019.8.13. Noon

2019.8.12 night is next to the hotel is the beach. It was almost seven o’clock, and I found a tall plant with beautiful flowers. A bee flew by! I watched it for 2 minutes and didn’t come back, so I went to the beach. After a while, she came back and ran away again. It was not until the fourth time that I took the picture. I used a cell phone this time. From the next morning, she took the camera around seven o’clock and she was still collecting honey! This time I took a photo of her. I wrote this at noon.

The conference is about the more docile African bee on the island of Puerto Rico. I will talk about transportation to make bees sensitive to pesticides. I went to see the hive the next day. It was indeed much gentler than the bees in Brazil! I haven’t been jailed once. I went to a botanical garden in the afternoon. Photographed two plants, the sun is dying.

On the third morning, I went to the botanical garden of the University of Puerto Rico and took pictures of several trees.

The following photos were taken with a camera.

The Latin name of the plant is Calotropis procera . It is now classified as Apocynaceae . It was originally Asclepiadaceae ) . The Chinese name is white flower croissant, but the flower is not white!

The host of the famous American spotted butterfly in North America is the plant Milkweed of the same family (translated directly from English Milkweed, because the white juice will flow out after the leaves are destroyed, poisonous!). This plant also has its own spotted butterfly Danaus plexippus portorricensis (the same species and different subspecies as migrating) , but the butterfly does not migrate. Just staying in Puerto Rico, the individual is also relatively large (up to 40CM).
