Verdens sjældneste
sommerfugl
Der
forsvinder dagsommerfuglearter hver eneste dag,
både kendte som ukendte arter! Man kan ikke
afgøre hvilken art der er den mest sjældneste!
Men
jeg kan fortælle om de mest kendte sjældne
sommerfugle. på Obi island øst
imellem Sulawesi og New
Guinea findes
nok den mest sjældneste i slægten fuglevinger: Ornithoptera
aesacus.
En
anden kendt historie er fra den store samler
epoke i det 19. århundredes. Det er om John
McGillivray, naturhistorikeren om
bord på HMS Rattlesnake, der
besejlede Stillehavet i 1884 -85. Han brugte et
haglgevær til sine indsamlinger af Fuglevinger.
På Salomonsøerne nedskød han det først kendte
eksemplar af
Ornithoptera
victoriae.
Her den absolut sjældneste!
Er
hybriden som er fundet på Salomonsøen
Bougainville. Opdageren Abbe' Alotte of
Buin for a hybrid: Ornithoptera
allotei (hybrid of O.
victoriae
x O. priamus urvilleanus): Denne
sommerfugl er p.g.a. sin sjældenhed, en af
verdens dyreste solgte på aktionerne, og en allotei
han sælges for typisk omkring
£4,000.00 (US$7,000.00). Navngivet af Lord
W.
Rothschild i 1914,
som havde omkring 1. verdenskrig den størst
privat ejede samling af sommerfugle og fugle.
Altsammen er nu på British Museum.
En
sjov historie om en lige så sjælden sommerfugl,
er fra Admiraløerne med relationer til Danmark:
fra Noona
Dan ekspeditionen 1961- 62; som
besøgte Manus øen i juni 1962. Hvor en af
forskerne med en småkalibrede haglbøsse
nedskød en Ornithoptera
priamus admiralitatis (Rothschild, 1915) han. Der
findes i samlinger rundt om i verden ialt 27
kendte eksemplarer! 1 stk. han med gennemhullede
vinger på Københavns museum. 9 stk. på British
Museum og resten i private samlinger! Lars
