昆蟲卡

對,就是那種丟30元下去會跑出一張昆蟲卡的那種遊戲 當同學們正在瘋的時候,LEO是不怎麼有興趣的 而今天,讓我見識到LEO的忍功,連牧恩的媽媽都不得不翹起大拇指稱讚一番 星期天的下午,同學們都齊聚四維國小 原本以為只是單純聚會的我,因為想順便運動一下, 所以著裝輕便,錢也沒帶就出門了....... 沒想到,最後大家決定續攤去打昆蟲卡 慘了,LEO也想去,可是MA沒帶錢$$ 所以只好跟LEO說可以跟去,但是不能打,也不能借錢打 (媽媽們都很有默契,如果我說沒錢也不能借,絕不會有人主動OFFER) 果然,戰況激烈,雖然四個小朋友,每人只有30元可以打 但可以互相邀請,所以大家你一言我一語的,好不熱鬧 LEO看同學們玩的時候小有心得,還和MA分享,接著就躍躍欲試 感覺到LEO的不安,MA再次提醒他 眼看快七點了,每個媽媽都催得快失去淑女風範了, 只有LEO很乖地跟著我到電梯前等候 難怪牧恩媽媽要如此稱讚LEO LEO從小買玩具都不會囉嗦 也不會當場做非分的要求 我們都會先溝通好購買的金額. 如果當場看到很喜歡但超出預算的東西 我們會建議他先把這次的預算存起來 等到錢夠了再買下來, 這樣子的作法多多少少減緩了想要的慾望 真是昂貴的消費,上了小學後,勢必同學間玩的東西要比幼稚園裡玩的多的多 想必得好好研究一下日後零用錢的額度....

令LEO期待的自然之旅又要出發了... 重頭戲是嘉義好美里潮間帶觀察招潮蟹,彈塗魚和尋找紅樹林,下午則是到台南縣新化鎮中興大學實驗林場探訪國寶級鳳蝶-黃裳鳳蝶的棲息地 途中遇見蜆農收網,洗蜆,準備運往市場出售。老板說便宜賣,一斤16元....哇,16元,市價要60吔....真的撿到便宜了...可是吃不了多少,只敢買二斤回家 今天的採集到了潮間帶,只見滿地數不清的各式招潮蟹正在覓食。聽過老師的講解後,二話不說,捲起褲管就開始挖了...雖然大家在大太陽下挖的頭昏眼花,可是採集到的數量和種類真的很可觀...最後,老師還是不忘叮嚀大家把生物回歸大自然....小朋友們都沒有抗議,都是未來環保的小尖兵哦.... 摸野蜆了....接著老師帶大家到岸邊沙堆中踢野生蜆...沒想到，一團40個人踢不到半顆；只有LEO不死心,還留在沙堆中踢啊踢..竟然讓他踢到了唯一的一顆野蜆，可以想見當下LEO有多神氣....呵呵 下午是到台南縣新化鎮中興大學實驗林場探訪國寶級鳳蝶-黃裳鳳蝶的棲息地 因為是國寶級的,只能觀察,不能帶回家 又很稀少,只能碰運氣,心中希望能不虛此行 途中先經過紅紋鳳蝶的棲息地,果然有很多的寶寶正努力地吃著馬兜鈴的葉片, 不過也有很多努力長大的寶寶卻被蜜蜂寄生,化為烏有,無緣展示它的美麗... 黃裳鳳蝶的幼蟲LEO這天真的很LUCKY,讓他找到了唯一的一隻黃裳鳳蝶的寶寶....大家都興奮不已 回程時,眼尖的一位家長還發現了黃裳鳳蝶的踪跡 真的是美得令人嘆為觀止,也終於知道為什麼這種蝴蝶瀕臨絕種的原因了,因為實在太美,太想令人收為己有.....只可惜,蝴蝶動個不停,沒有辦法拍下它美麗的身影... 參加自然之旅活動已經二年多了,隨著LEO長大,他也慢慢地更能享受觀察的樂趣,對LEO來說,自然之旅已經不是單純的一次爬山或是玩水....... 可是,真的好累哦...爬山的時候老是MA在後面上氣不接下氣,這些小孩子中午只要睡30分鐘,到了下午還是有用不完的精力...蓋恐怖喲....

"Lost World" Found in Indonesia Is Trove of New Species"

"Lost World" Found in Indonesia Is Trove of New Species" "Lost World" Found in Indonesia Is Trove of New Species Stefan Lovgren for National Geographic News February 7, 2006 To boldly go where no one has gone before, one group of scientists didn't have to venture into space. They found a lost world right here on Earth. "It really was like crossing some sort of time warp into a place that people hadn't been to," said Bruce Beehler of the wildlife expedition he co-led in December into the isolated Foja Mountains on the tropical South Pacific island of New Guinea. During a 15-day stay at a camp they had cut out of the jungle, the conservationists found a trove of animals never before documented, from a new species of the honeyeater bird to more than 20 new species of frogs. "We were like kids in a candy store," said Beehler, a bird expert with Conservation International in Washington, D.C. "Everywhere we looked we saw amazing things we had never seen before." Boggy Lakebed The team spent nearly a month in the Foja Mountains on the western side of New Guinea, the part belonging to Indonesia (map and country profile). They used the lowland village of Kwerba (population: 200) as a base from which to survey area wildlife and plants. From Kwerba, one part of the team ventured by foot up the mountains. Another group helicoptered to a boggy lakebed near the range's high point. Within minutes of landing, the scientists encountered a bizarre, orange-faced honeyeater bird (see photo). It proved to be a new bird species, the first discovered in New Guinea since 1939. On the second day the lakebed group made another suprising find when a male and female Berlepsch's six-wired bird of paradise came into the camp to perform a mating dance. Until now the homeland of this "lost" bird had been unknown. It was the first time Western scientists had even seen an adult male (see photo). "We had forgotten it even existed," Beehler said. Conservation International, the Indonesian Institute of Sciences, and the National Geographic Society funded the expedition. (National Geographic News is part of the National Geographic Society.) The 12-person team included U.S., Australian, and Indonesian scientists. Tree Kangaroo The local Kwerba people aided the researchers. Traditionally considered the owners of the Foja Mountains, the Kwerba hunt game and collect herbs and medicines from the fringes of the pristine forest. Giant crowned pigeons, small wallaby kangaroos, cassowary birds, tree kangaroos, and wild boars are abundant within an hour's walk of the village. The Kwerba told the expedition members the locals had never ventured farther into the forest. Walking from the Kwerba village to the mountain camp, the Kwerba said, would take about ten days. "This is an area where there is apparently no evidence of humans," Beehler said. The Foja Mountains, however, are not entirely undiscovered. In the 1970s scientist Jared Diamond—now famous for his best seller Guns, Germs, and Steel—became the first Westerner to penetrate the Foja range. He did not, though, visit the same area as Beehler's group. "He set the stage for all the work we did and gave us a lot of hints as to what we should look for," Beehler said. Beehler and his team located a series of display bowers—chambers or passages built by males to attract mates—of the golden-fronted bowerbird. Though Diamond had discovered the species, Beehler's team took the first photographs of the bird (see photo). Another highlight of the expedition was the discovery of a population of the golden-mantled tree kangaroo. It was the first record of this species in Indonesia (see photo). Meanwhile, reptile experts documented 60 different kinds of frogs, including more than 20 new species. Perhaps the most exciting discovery was a tiny frog less than 14 millimeters (0.6 inch) long. The animal that was detected only when it produced a soft call from among leaves on the steepest part of the forest floor (see photo). "The sheer diversity of frogs and the number of species never before seen by Western scientists demonstrates just how poorly the frog fauna of the Foja Mountains, and indeed of the island of New Guinea, has been documented," said Steve Richards, the expedition co-leader. A botanical team collected more than 550 plant species, including at least five previously unknown woody plant species. Entomologists encountered more than 150 insect species, including four new ones. Virgin Territory In the Foja Mountains there are more than 740,000 acres (300,000 hectares) of old-growth tropical forest that are apparently never visited by humans. "This virgin territory has not been impacted by humans," so plant and animal species are at natural population levels, Beehler said. There is no immediate conservation threat to the region, which was designated a wildlife sanctuary by the Indonesian government more than two decades ago. "The dripping moss forests of the Foja Mountains are one of the last places on Earth where humans have failed to make an imprint," said Richards, the expedition co-leader. "That they harbor such a treasure trove of biological novelties adds even greater importance to the protection of this spectacular area."
