🦋 A revolution in the world of butterflies

^{Beautiful afternoon, reunited with him in the same location, where there are many plain tiger butterflies, dominating the area. Suddenly, a figure that is different from the others is seen, namely a butterfly called appias olferna (scientific name) with a beautiful motif, in general this motive is often seen in one of the grass-eating animals, namely the zebra}

^{Appias Olferna}

This reliable adventurer (as I call it) is one of the rarely seen species, and I myself haven't seen it here in a long time, I think, last seen it about a month ago, and people here believe that, if seen in the area this, it is luck that favors the person who is experiencing luck. This opinion arises because, very few of the legends that very rarely appear here. If that counts as luck then I am the first person this month to have luck when meeting him. This unexpected thing happened in the afternoon when was at the location of a local tourist destination around the Pusong Lama reservoir, Lhokseumawe Aceh.

Its legendary significance here is that this zebra-patterned butterfly, otherwise known as appias olferna, is very rarely seen in coastal areas. His presence only once a year, and even then if the weather is sunny and not raining. But according to my own experience this year, I've only seen it 3 times, and even then there's only one tail. In contrast to other plain tiger butterflies that make every aspect of an empty land that has been overgrown with weeds or wild plants as a nest.

It comes from a very far direction, or comes from across the river, because the position of the reservoir itself is surrounded by two large puddles of water or often called the Estuary of the River, and is located on two separate sides, both South and North, giving the impression of a legendary location, even though it was just created.

Arrival from a far direction is a long journey undertaken by this type of butterfly. Of course he has his own purpose in looking for something in people's territory. Otherwise it is impossible for him to travel far from his original location. So this reason is said to be legendary, for people who believe that good news will come in changing nature is a great joy, because it is used as signals to know the success of this year.

^{🦋 Some people believe that his presence in this area is a bearer of good news 🦋}

This often happened and was believed when in the 80s, or about 41 years ago, coastal communities believed that their presence brought something good, such as :

1. Shows that this area, has good potential about nature, will have a good impact, it will also make it easier to get sustenance for the fishermen themselves
2. If he comes from far away and stops in this location, he will see many schools of small tuna which are 4 miles from the shore
3. If there are more than one or about one group of tens in one nest, it is believed that some diseases will disappear which makes the villagers not feel anxious about every disease, because soon the plague will soon disappear
4. There will be hundreds of other migrations, namely egrets in the area. If he exists then, other butterfly species will also be seen
5. and, some other things that have a lucky nature.

Before covid 19 hit the world, people's activities were very dense, so that various efforts were made by everyone in their respective positions, but their efforts did not experience any progress, only survived, both traders, hard workers and all activities that generate income, a little money. The situation in previous years was very arid, there were no wild weeds, because the owner was still in the stage of building a balance in his business, causing bad air pollution. Then this butterfly is also invisible.

^{🦋 The influence of his presence 🐝}

Although there are local residents who believe that his presence here is a blessing, as in the initial explanation, but I see it differently, ^{what is the reason?}

Something like this, the cause of his presence here.

When covid19 took over the world, then in those two years, everyone stopped their daily activities. temporarily suspended, this is also on the advice of each regional head to carry out a situation such as Lockdown, then the world will automatically become quiet from things that are busy, meaning that there will be a cessation of every human activity. Then the impact will be seen is:

1. Complete elimination of air pollution, so the air becomes healthier
2. The growth of wild plants and other fertile plants, due to the cessation of activities
3. Every species is born without anything to get in the way, and some other things will grow when some humans do nothing.

When the atmosphere is safe and good for every animal, then every animal species will breed and there will be animals that have been absent for a long time. Among them is the figure we discuss in this post, the butterfly appias olferna.

So it's no wonder why the butterfly that has not been seen here for a long time is now back. Of course the effect is that there are wild plants that have great potential in providing food for their survival needs, or some other freedom for this butterfly's life.

In addition, with the support of healthy nature without any air pollution that can harm them, nature, and even ourselves. This is one of the reasons why the butterfly is considered a legend, especially in our area, is seen again. As for the luck that is believed, I don't know myself, the point is that this has happened
