Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a protective device that protects butterfly larvae and allows butterflies to enter and exit. More specifically, it is an invention that allows butterflies to enter and exit safely while protecting them from the outside in various spaces or environments, such as roads, roadsides, flower paths, flower gardens, exhibitions, event venues, parks, walking paths, indoors, outdoors, greenhouses, schools, inside homes, outside homes, apartments, senior centers, senior halls, yards, roads, pedestrian paths, mountain paths, wildflowers, wild flowers, golf courses, rivers, bridge railings, bridges, railways, highways, flowering orchards, flowering crop fields, buildings, building rooftops, and building interiors, as well as various road facilities, landscaping facilities such as parks, and architectural facilities. The invention aims to enable the raising of butterflies not only indoors and outdoors but also in various outdoor spaces, and is characterized by a protective device that protects butterfly larvae and allows butterflies to enter and exit, which enables the raising of butterflies even in areas or spaces where butterflies cannot survive. Background Technology

[0003] A butterfly is a winged insect belonging to the order Lepidoptera, and refers to a monophyletic group within the group Macroheterocera that includes species belonging to the superfamilies Hesperiidae, Hesperiidae, and Papilionidae. (Wikipedia)

[0004] -form

[0005] The adult body is divided into three parts: head, thorax, and abdomen. The head contains a pair of antennae, a pair of compound eyes, and a mouth, while the thorax has two pairs of wings and three pairs of legs. The compound eyes are very large, occupying more than half of the head, and there are no simple eyes. The mouth is a sucking duct formed from modified mandibles, and the labial palps protrude forward in three segments. The thorax consists of three segments—the prothorax, mesothorax, and metathorax—with a pair of legs on each segment. The mesothorax and metathorax each have a pair of membranous wings, supported by hollow veins running through their centers; these are called wing veins, and their pattern is called the vein pattern. The abdomen consists of 10 segments; in males, the last 8 to 10 segments are modified to form the copulatory organ, and a corresponding modification occurs in females.

[0006] Eggs come in various shapes, including round, semicircular, dumpling-shaped, bullet-shaped, and barrel-shaped, and many have ridges, protrusions, or fragments on the surface of the eggshell. The larvae are generally slender and long. They consist of a total of 14 segments—one head segment, three thorax segments, and ten abdomen segments—though the segmentation at the end of the abdomen is not always distinct. The pupa inserts all appendages (antennae, mouth, wings, etc.) into a chitinous sheath and attaches it to the body; there are two types: those that anchor their bodies by tying the tip of their tail with silk spun from the tail, and those that anchor their tails and hang with their heads bowed. (Wikipedia)

[0008] Butterflies inhabit almost every part of the world and their wingspans vary from 1 to 28 cm. Butterflies go through four stages: egg, larva, pupa, and adult.

[0009] -Butterfly eggs

[0010] After mating, the female lays eggs on the leaves, stems, branches, buds, or flower buds of host plants about two days later; some butterflies, like the tiger swallowtail, lay eggs one by one, while others, such as the golden leopard swallowtail or the yellow swallowtail, lay dozens to hundreds of eggs at once. After about a week, the larvae bite through the shell and emerge headfirst.

[0011] -Butterfly caterpillar

[0012] Larvae typically feed on the leaves of host plants as they grow, and immediately after hatching, they gnaw on their shells to avoid leaving traces for predators. To grow, they must molt, and the number of molts is classified into 'instars.' Finally, when they reach the fifth instar, they search for a suitable place to pupate, spinning silk from their mouths to find a spot to anchor the pupa.

[0013] -Butterfly pupa

[0014] Pupas display a variety of colors and shapes as diverse as the butterfly species themselves, and are classified into pygmy and pupa-pupa based on the form in which they emerge. Although they appear dead from the outside, various chemical changes occur inside the pupa, undergoing a process of completely transforming the entire body into a different form. As wings and antennae, which were absent during the larval stage, develop, the body gradually takes shape as an adult insect. Typically, after about 5 to 7 days, the insect emerges as an adult.

[0017] Butterflies have long been loved for the beautiful colors and patterns of their wings. They are generally smaller than moths, and their bodies are covered in hairs and scales; like other insects, they consist of three parts: head, thorax, and abdomen.

[0018] The butterfly has antennae on its head. These antennae function like a human nose or tongue and also serve as balance organs to maintain body equilibrium. They are connected by small segments, with the final segment shaped like a club or a spoon.

[0019] And butterfly eyes are a pair of compound eyes made up of more than 15,000 simple eyes arranged in a hexagonal shape, allowing them to see in many directions and distinguish only a few colors.

[0020] In addition, the butterfly's mouth is curled up like a spring, but extends out like a straw when sucking nectar. (Butterfly Ecology Park)

[0021] So, winged butterflies fly in search of nectar and live by feeding on the nectar of plant flowers and tree flowers, but due to conditions or situations where it is difficult for butterflies to survive—such as pesticides, insecticides, pest control agents, and insect repellents in farmlands, farms, forests, parks, and roads touched by human hands, and various insecticides and fungicides in mountains, fields, orchards, flower gardens, and crop fields—butterflies, along with honeybees that feed on nectar, are gradually disappearing or going extinct due to climate change and human-generated insecticides and fungicides.

[0022] Therefore, although humans cultivate various flowering trees, orchards, and flowering plants for various reasons such as sentiment, emotion, business, or other factors, the number of bees and butterflies—which constitute a natural ecosystem that is happier and healthier when coexisting with these plants—has significantly decreased. Consequently, the nectar that plants painstakingly produce through photosynthesis cannot be shared with its consumers, the bees and butterflies, often resulting in precious and valuable nectar being wasted. Furthermore, the failure of the pollination process leads to problems in the production of various fruits, such as defective flesh and poor pollination. Additionally, although butterflies flying in artificially created parks, green spaces, exhibitions, flower gardens, flower paths, orchards, and vegetable gardens are beneficial insects, there have been various issues in that we have not been able to raise them in a way that prevents or protects them from natural predators from the outside, thereby failing to create an environment where they can happily coexist with flowers in the same places where plants and flowers exist.

[0023] Furthermore, in modern agriculture, large-scale vinyl greenhouses, facility greenhouses, and cultivation facilities have become state-of-the-art, large-scale, mechanized, and incorporate artificial intelligence or IoT methods. As a result, mass production is taking place in various locations for strawberries, cucumbers, melons, tomatoes, watermelons, peaches, pears, grapes, persimmons, balloon flowers, deodeok, ginseng, Korean melons, lilies, tulips, walnuts, ginkgo nuts, wild grapes, as well as roses, chrysanthemums, cockscomb, zinnias, wild strawberries, blueberries, wild grapes, black strawberries, snake strawberries, chestnuts, safflower, peonies, medicinal herbs, and many others. This is accomplished using fertilizers, various pesticides (artificial and natural), additives (wallpapers, adhesives, antibiotics, nutrients, etc.), various fertilizer supply facilities, and artificial light and temperature control equipment and facilities. Trees and plants living in or cultivated in these places or facilities need to bloom and bear fruit; however, due to the scarcity of bees and butterflies in these environments, artificial pollination by humans is frequently performed.

[0024] Furthermore, using eco-friendly farming methods, flowering crops and various types of flowers and plants are being cultivated in large-scale facilities or within facilities, such as smart farms or flower cultivation sites. This is being done by utilizing man-made light sources—namely incandescent bulbs, halogen lamps, and various colored LEDs—while employing automated machinery for fertilizer supply, temperature control, and carbon dioxide.

[0025] However, despite being loved and cherished, these flowers are inside or outside the facility where they cannot be with the butterflies they want, like, or need.

[0026] Flowers have a truly unfortunate story.

[0027] In these large-scale human agricultural facilities, the environment is often unsuitable for bees to survive. Additionally, butterflies often find it difficult to live or raise them due to contamination from artificial ultraviolet or infrared rays caused by pesticides (fungicides, insecticides, etc.), antibiotics, adhesives, water pumps or nozzles, air pressure and volume from ventilators or fan motors, electric lights, boiler hot air, and geothermal systems, as well as contamination from artificial ultraviolet or infrared light from lamps or bulbs, and interference with flight.

[0028] Furthermore, there was a problem in that butterflies, whether larvae or adult butterflies, could not be raised in such spaces because they found it difficult to survive or were exterminated by artificial insecticides, fungicides, fertilizers, COVID-19, pests, avian influenza, and other disease control agents or disinfectants, or because these agents acted as torture for their survival.

[0029] In addition, there were limitations in providing spaces where bees and butterflies, which have lived together with flowers as friends, companions, and life partners through a long evolution, could coexist in flower gardens, flower paths, exhibition flower landscaping, and flower garden spaces for riverside landscape landscaping.

[0030] Bees have a weapon called a stinger, which can attack humans with venom.

[0031] Parks, event venues such as exhibitions, flower paths, bridges decorated with flower pots, riverside flower gardens, and flower parks where various flowering trees or plants are grown outdoors or elsewhere and moved to decorate flowerbeds or landscapes are places where people, pedestrians, crowds, and walkers move around. Since placing beehives in these areas can be dangerous to humans because bees possess a weapon called a stinger, which is venom that can attack humans, beehives are not placed and used.

[0032] However, bees and beehives are used for pollination in the cultivation of crops or fruits in agricultural facilities or greenhouses.

[0033] In addition, butterflies go through four stages: egg, larva, pupa, and adult.

[0034] Butterflies do not live in crowded hives and, unlike bees, lead solitary lives.

[0035] Furthermore, because they are vulnerable to chemicals, disinfectants, and pesticides, it is difficult to raise butterflies in large numbers, whether for agricultural purposes or in parks and outdoors. While bees feed on nectar, butterfly larvae feed on plant leaves, making them pests.

[0036] Therefore, to raise butterfly larvae, you must provide them with separate food that they prefer. At this time, the larvae do not eat nectar.

[0037] In addition, butterfly larvae are food for various animals.

[0038] Even if freed from human chemicals or pesticides, it is difficult for butterflies to survive to the end in nature amidst fierce competition for survival and the food chain, surviving from egg to larva to pupa to butterfly, reproducing, and laying eggs again.

[0039] To explain the reasons, scientific, biological, and ecological contexts, butterflies live from egg to larva to pupa to butterfly, meet a mate, reproduce, and lay eggs again. Even in fields, mountains, meadows, flower gardens, flower paths, roads, stream banks, and riversides, where butterflies can fly freely, they are preyed upon by mice, field mice, wild cats, snakes, sparrows, pigeons, lizards, wildcats, kestrels, eagles, foxes, wolves, wild dogs, owls, wasps, bears, deer, roe deer, etc. ... Only a very small percentage of butterflies live from egg to larva to pupa to butterfly, meet a mate, and reproduce.

[0040] Furthermore, humans use electrical energy and utilize it for various purposes.

[0041] Power supply networks are also formed in parks where flowers bloom, around exhibition venues decorated with flower paths, around rivers where various flowers bloom, and around national and public tourist attractions where various flowers such as cherry blossoms, forsythias, roses, chrysanthemums, hydrangeas, dandelions, hibiscus, and spider lilies bloom and wither.

[0042] First, the power plant produces a voltage of 15,000 to 33,000 V with a frequency of 50 to 60 Hz using a three-phase synchronous generator, and then steps up this voltage to 345,000 V to 765,000 V using a transformer (TR).

[0043] And electrical energy is supplied to a power supply network that converts this voltage to 154,000V at a substation and then converts it again to 22,900V.

[0044] And once again, through distribution transformers, electrical energy is being supplied to consumers and facilities in various locations and surrounding areas where flowers are blooming, all over the country.

[0045] Such electrical energy causes interference or hindrance to the survival of butterflies due to corona phenomena, electric force, and magnetic force around power lines, and it is difficult for butterfly larvae, caterpillars, pupae, adult butterflies, and butterflies to survive due to light pollution from streetlights, streetlight ballasts, neon signs, etc., as well as spark noise caused by brush contact, ultrasonic waves, vibration, and electromagnetic waves when motors, pesticide pumps, boiler fan motors, pneumatic pumps, hydraulic pumps, gear motors, etc., which generate ultrasonic waves, noise, wind loss, and vibration from agricultural water pumps or motors using such electrical energy are operated or started at a frequency of 50–60 Hz, single-phase 220 V, or three-phase 330 V.

[0046] Furthermore, there are environmental problems that make it difficult for butterflies to survive or cause their extinction due to various reasons, such as global climate change, real estate development, concrete buildings, road paving, waste, pesticides, urban disinfectants, car crashes, floods, typhoons, heavy rain, landslides caused by climate change, logging, and aircraft or drones, which lead to food shortages for butterfly larvae.

[0047] Flowers that would go extinct if not beautiful are artificially mass-cultivated through human interest, scientific agriculture, and crop cultivation technology. They are then transported to every corner of the country by vehicle, rickshaw, bicycle, motorcycle, boat, ship, or aircraft, placed along flower paths, in flower parks, and indoors to serve as places for people to walk or sightsee, creating beautiful and wonderful spaces. However, there was a sadness or longing for the fact that one could not actually encounter the flowers or see the butterflies one desired.

[0048] Naturally, people who view flowers cultivate flowers or purchase them to create landscaping and scenic landscapes in fairs, exhibitions, various real estate properties, buildings, parks, and green spaces around the city center, or they equip facilities, but it was difficult and challenging to find the butterflies that flowers want and have them stay with the flowers.

[0049] While beehives can be placed to facilitate the meeting between flowers and bees, there is a risk of stings to humans, and the movement or obstruction of paths can cause inconvenience. Therefore, butterflies are safer for humans than bees or beehives, and they create a greater synergistic effect in terms of the beauty of flowers and butterflies harmonizing naturally, adding charm and atmosphere to the scenery. For humans, they convey the meanings of nature, sociality, and coexistence; for flowers, the encounter and allure with the butterflies they desire allows them to live more vibrantly and healthily, preventing loneliness and allowing them to emit fragrance with nectar, thereby providing love, happiness, health, and joy to humans. By offering more natural, happy, and enjoyable sights, scenery, and environments such as flower gardens, flower paths, flower parks, and shaded areas, they can provide the effects of proper character education, true nature conservation, emotional stability, and serve as resting places for flowers and butterflies, offering good memories and joy to family, lovers, and friends. However, despite the fact that various devices or facilities are still lacking to raise such butterflies in urban areas, cities, around buildings, homes, schools, workplaces, and parks throughout the country—for both the sake of the national sentiment and the lonely flowers—... The reality is that there is a lack of technology or equipment.

[0050] Countless people living in today's cutting-edge, complex urban centers have made inventions for the purpose of enabling humans, different flowering trees, and plants to coexist with freely flying butterflies—which help heal various stresses, worries, and anxieties—along with flowers and people, in happier cities, happy schools, happy senior towns or community centers, and joyful parks, roadsides, streams, bridges, and streets.

[0051] In addition to these details, changes in the environment in which butterflies live are also the technology and reason for the necessity of the invention or the background of the invention.

[0052] In addition, it is the technology and reason behind the necessity of the invention, which is to create a beautiful Korea where butterflies fly and live in the beautiful land of the past—not only in designated event venues where many people gather, but also around tourist attractions, unnamed villages, and every corner of the country—and to show filial piety to the people by providing them with mental and physical stability, comfort, and happiness, and to pass on the beautiful land of our country to future generations.

[0053] In addition, character education, nature conservation, or nature ecology education is necessary or provided

[0055] Domestic Patent Butterfly Life Cycle Observation Kit (Registration No. 10-1893763, Publication No. 10-2017-0092776,

[0056] Although there is an invention (filed on February 4, 2016) that allows for the observation of a butterfly while it is being raised, there are problems such as the butterfly's restricted access, the butterfly having to stay in a narrow space to be active while occupying a very large three-dimensional space, and as a result, the butterfly suffers stress. Furthermore, the butterfly lives in a blocked environment where it cannot go on its own to meet various external flowers, and thus needs nectar. To solve this, separate human intervention is required, and there is a problem where the butterfly cannot pass through the rearing kit on its own and fly away, and it is a sad situation where it cannot find and meet various external flowers.

[0057] Such an appearance, or the sight of a butterfly living without freedom inside the kit, has limitations and problems in teaching character education, nature education, nature conservation, and environmental awareness, as well as freedom and creativity, being truthful, upright, and honest, fulfilling the duty of national defense and taxation, obeying traffic laws, respecting ancestors and parents, showing filial piety to the people, and passing on a beautiful land and sea to future generations.

[0059] Therefore, it is necessary to protect butterfly eggs, larvae, pupae, and butterflies from external pests or natural enemies, and to allow winged butterflies to freely enter and exit on their own.

[0060] Naturally, it can be used on soil, earth, or plants such as cabbage and kale planted along the roadside, and it can also be used or applied to movable flowerpots, flowerpots where cabbage and kale are planted that butterfly larvae can eat, flowerpots where plants are planted, or flowerpots, so there is a need for a space or facility where butterflies can live freely, which is also a problem that the present invention solves.

[0061] Accordingly, this invention is a technology and reason that serves as the background for another invention, creating a beautiful Korea where butterflies fly and live in the beautiful land of the past, not only in designated event venues where many people gather, but also around tourist attractions, unnamed villages, and every corner of the country, thereby showing filial piety to the people by providing them with mental and physical stability, comfort, and happiness, and passing on the beautiful land of our country to future generations. The problem to be solved

[0063] The various problems that the present invention aims to solve are not limited to those mentioned above, and other unmentioned problems will be clearly understood by those skilled in the art from the description below.

[0064] The present invention is a butterfly rearing device that protects butterfly larvae while allowing butterflies to enter and exit.

[0065] While observing the life cycle of butterflies, grooves are formed that protect butterfly larvae and adults from predators and allow butterflies flying with their wings to freely enter and exit.

[0066] These grooves have a size and height that allow the butterfly to move by folding its wings.

[0067] Therefore, these grooves protect the butterfly from its natural predators, such as birds, snakes, and bats.

[0068] The composition and structure can be used in various places, ranging from fields or soil where butterfly larvae can forage, such as cabbage fields and kale fields, to schools, parks, flower gardens, river paths, flowerpots, and roadsides.

[0069] It also protects food plants, flowering trees, and flowering plants that are necessary for butterflies to forage from the larva stage. means of solving the problem

[0071] The present invention relates to a butterfly rearing device that protects butterfly larvae while allowing butterflies to enter and exit, wherein a body having a certain size or area is prepared. The bottom part of the body is open and the remaining part is sealed, and is characterized by having a groove that allows winged butterflies to freely enter and exit while preventing butterfly larvae from escaping.

[0072] Naturally, an internal space is formed within the body to accommodate host plants, which are the food of butterfly larvae, as well as flowering trees and flowers from which butterflies can feed on nectar.

[0073] These bodies are made of transparent or translucent material and are designed to have various designs, shapes, and forms.

[0074] The characteristic feature is that it enables the butterfly's free activity by allowing it to freely enter and exit the surroundings to lay eggs and move to other places to eat nectar. Effects of the invention

[0075] The butterfly rearing device according to the present invention, which protects butterfly larvae while allowing the entry and exit of butterflies, is characterized by protection from external natural enemies of butterflies.

[0076] In addition, butterflies can be raised by installing or utilizing them in various spaces or locations.

[0077] In addition, it protects butterfly larvae or their food plants or crops from natural enemies such as mice, field mice, wild cats, snakes, sparrows, pigeons, lizards, wildcats, kestrels, eagles, foxes, wolves, wild dogs, owls, wasps, bears, deer, and roe deer in various spaces or places, while allowing butterflies that can fly with their wings to freely enter and exit the body.

[0078] As it becomes easier to see butterflies in various places, facilities, rural areas, cities, farms, parks, exhibition halls, and other places where many people can see them, it is possible to provide more attractions that offer fun activities and interest in nature with butterflies.

[0079] Attractions featuring such butterflies can turn surrounding roads, buildings, and the environment into landmarks, contributing to the revitalization of local businesses and the development of the tourism industry by attracting tourists.

[0080] Depending on the type of butterfly, it can be used as educational material for students or people, covering not only the butterfly's life cycle but also the natural ecosystem and the benefits butterflies provide (such as pollination).

[0081] In addition, the epic, lyrical, free, peaceful, stable, comfortable, and warm feelings experienced by seeing butterflies flying freely around oneself—such as the emotional insights from humanities or psychology found in poetry or paintings, the aesthetic insights from art, and the cognitive abilities regarding humanity learned in gerontology—consoles the hearts of unmarried men and women living alone. It also provides comfort, stability, and composure to office workers exhausted by urban air and noise pollution and work stress. Furthermore, for elderly people living alone, patients with dementia, and those with geriatric diseases, it evokes memories of hometown scenery where butterflies fly freely in the front yard of a thatched house, thereby enhancing cognitive abilities and stimulating intellectual capacity to contribute to the recovery of functions such as vision. Additionally, by enabling the creation of scenes and landscapes where butterflies fly freely in restaurant districts, tourist attractions, and flower gardens, it is effective for creating photo spots and contributing to the development of the local tourism industry.

[0082] It is possible to showcase the cutting-edge nature and scientific inventions of 21st-century South Korea by allowing people to view butterflies or appreciate the scenery all year round in buildings, facility spaces, and sports facilities (such as gateball courts, golf courses, swimming pools, archery ranges, soccer fields, baseball fields, wrestling arenas, table tennis courts, tennis courts, basketball courts, foot volleyball courts, shooting ranges, artillery firing ranges, commando training grounds, amphibious training grounds, river crossing training, assault training, rappelling training grounds, etc., where butterflies fly around in brutal and sweaty places, contributing to emotional stability and helping with emotional development by allowing soldiers and barracks to feel the value of freedom and peace during training).

[0084] In addition, many people both at home and abroad will be able to see butterflies in various activities.

[0085] It provides an opportunity and effect for people to visit local tourism festivals or venues to see butterflies flying freely in the open sky. Therefore, it contributes to the development of the regional tourism industry throughout the country, as well as to local culture and economic growth, thereby having the effect of contributing to the development of South Korea into an advanced and welfare state.

[0086] By making butterflies fly around various man-made structures or even indoors

[0087] Even though flowers have been grown indoors in senior living communities, nursing homes, and nursing homes where elderly people living alone spend the rest of their lives in lonely and desolate 8-pyeong spaces with white snow falling from the sky and cold winds outside the window, if they now look at flowers and safe butterflies fluttering around with this invention, even dementia patients who cannot remember their grown-up sons, daughters, or daughters-in-law may have memories or recollections of the past—such as seeing a butterfly fly and land on the shoulder of their mother, whose face was tanned and dark from the sun while she was filling a soybean paste jar with cosmos flowers during her childhood in a thatched house—stimulating these memories and recollections can have the effect of improving cognitive abilities and restoring function, thereby preventing dementia, recovering health, and stabilizing the mind and body. This can provide a healthy daily life where they go out to see butterflies again, thus offering the effect of a filial invention that wishes for the longevity of the elderly in Korea.

[0088] This invention allows butterflies to fly around even in cramped senior apartments, bringing bright smiles and healthy walking gaits to many apartment residents, and can contribute to the development of an advanced welfare state by raising the happiness index of beautiful and happy Korean citizens throughout the country. Furthermore, this happy and enjoyable residential cultural space and daily life is an invention that has the effect of helping prevent suicide among elderly people living alone or the elderly.

[0089] In addition, it will be fully understood that various embodiments of the present invention may provide various effects not specifically mentioned. Brief explanation of the drawing

[0091] Terms or words used in the specification describing the present invention should not be interpreted as being limited to their ordinary or dictionary meanings, and should be interpreted in a meaning and concept consistent with the technical spirit of the present invention, based on the principle that the inventor, the applicant, can appropriately define the concept of the terms to best describe his invention.

[0092] Therefore, the embodiments described in this specification and the configurations illustrated in the drawings are merely the most preferred embodiments of the present invention and do not represent all of the technical ideas of the present invention; thus, it should be understood that various equivalents and modifications that can replace them may exist at the time of filing this application.

[0093] The present invention relates to a butterfly rearing device (1) that protects butterfly larvae and allows the entry and exit of butterflies.

[0094] The inventors searched for flower gardens or flower trees around the area where butterflies (777) are foraging, and looked for nearby places where butterflies might be found.

[0095] So, on August 30, 2023 (Saturday afternoon during the Chuseok holiday), I went around looking for butterflies (777) and visited several nearby places with flowers.

[0096] Figure 1 is a photo of a flower path near Hwangnyong River in Jangseong-eup, Jangseong-gun, Jeollanam-do.

[0097] It was difficult to find butterflies here.

[0098] Figure 2 is a photo of another flower path near Hwangnyong River in Jangseong-eup, Jangseong-gun, Jeollanam-do.

[0099] It was difficult to find butterflies here as well.

[0100] Figure 3 is a photo of another flower path near Hwangnyong River in Jangseong-eup, Jangseong-gun, Jeollanam-do.

[0101] It was difficult to find butterflies here as well.

[0102] Figure 4 is a photo of a flower path near Yongppongppong Bridge on the Hwangryong River in Jangseong-eup, Jangseong-gun, Jeollanam-do.

[0103] It was difficult to find butterflies here as well.

[0104] Figure 5 is a photo of a flower path near another location of the Yongppongppong Bridge over the Hwangnyong River in Jangseong-eup, Jangseong-gun, Jeollanam-do.

[0105] It was difficult to find butterflies here as well.

[0106] Figure 6 is a photo of a flower path near the Yongppongppong Bridge on the Hwangnyong River in Jangseong-eup, Jangseong-gun, Jeollanam-do.

[0107] It was difficult to find butterflies here as well.

[0108] Figure 7 is a photo of hibiscus flowers around the library in Jangseong-eup, Jangseong-gun, Jeollanam-do.

[0109] This place is a grateful location for the inventor, whom I regard as a lifelong university and invention laboratory where I study, discover various patent application ideas, and conduct research and development. Many hibiscus trees grow around the Jangseong-eup Library, and while the flowers bloom and wither, it was difficult to spot a lonely butterfly. Or perhaps it was hard to find a butterfly here as well.

[0110] Figure 8 is a photo of flowers around Nuri Town, an elderly welfare facility in Jangseong-eup, Jangseong-gun, Jeollanam-do.

[0111] This place is a public senior housing facility, one of the elderly welfare facilities in Jangseong-gun, and is a senior apartment where only elderly people live. The inventor is living in apartment unit 704, which is about 8 pyeong in size, while caring for his mother who is unable to move. However, perhaps because disinfection vehicles frequently disinfect the area early in the morning these days, it is difficult to find bees or butterflies (777) even when looking for flowers nearby. Or it is difficult to see butterflies (777).

[0112] As shown in the photo, various flowers and flowering trees exist or live in many places, but it was difficult to see pretty butterflies (777) flying freely to meet the flowers. As a result, there is a problem with the number of butterflies (777) gradually decreasing.

[0113] If the populations of bees and butterflies decline due to various factors, the rate of plant non-pollination increases, making crop production and seed production difficult. This risk of food crisis and shortages could lead humans to make the dangerous choice of turning to war, potentially evolving into a threat to world peace. Therefore, this invention is a beneficial educational resource designed to contribute significantly to maintaining world peace by resolving future food problems and crises in the Anthropocene. It aims to provide future generations with educational materials that increase the populations of bees and butterflies and explain their reasons for existence. By observing real, living butterflies alongside flowers, the invention explains the important geoengineering reasons for coexistence with nature and flowers. It also depicts the happy lives of flowers and butterflies meeting one another, allowing them to naturally learn about bees, butterflies, and plants while walking along flower-lined paths, thereby fostering a sense of mutual happiness and enabling future generations to possess this knowledge as intellectual property.

[0114] Recently, there has been an increase in single-person households among the younger generation who are unable to marry, as well as elderly people living alone, elderly couples, and households where two family caregivers live together to look after the elderly.

[0115] As with the applicant and inventor of this application, invisible social problems such as suicide and lonely deaths may arise due to a persistent daily increase in depressive tendencies resulting from a sense of meaninglessness in existence—such as reduced or severed social activity, decreased physical activity, lack or reduced external activity, exposure to psychological depression, increased rigidity and caution, increased introversion due to the withdrawal of social relationships and social bonding caused by economic poverty, and a sense of loss of social roles—but, in severe cases, these problems may be occurring.

[0116] I believe that in order for our country to develop into a leading nation, a welfare state, and a first-class country in terms of national, social, and human dignity, we must provide help and bright hope to these social classes and families, who suffer from quiet deaths where no one is present, economically or socially, and where even the time of death is unknown.

[0117] Therefore, our society shows interest in and provides support to such families; although there are limitations due to national finances, local government operating funds, and national social welfare policies, various forms of support and compensation are being provided.

[0118] These marginalized groups, the poor, the elderly living alone, and the disabled all have in common that their outdoor activities are extremely lacking or minimal compared to general households. In many ways, while the national and local governments provide institutional, economic, intellectual, and cultural support, we believe it is absolutely necessary to provide psychological and aesthetic stability not only to these households and residents but also to citizens and the general public. This is achieved through various benefits for citizen convenience and national happiness, such as green spaces, parks, flower paths, riverside walking trails, hiking trails on local mountains, and flower-lined streets. However, we believe there is a continuous need for attractions and sights that make going out welcome, enjoyable, and happy, without discomfort or anxiety. Therefore, we have filed a patent application for this invention.

[0120] Although I plant, cultivate, and manage various flowers, most of them, as shown in Figures 1 through 7,

[0121] Facilities or places such as the park where the flowers planted look lonely, sunflower paths, crape myrtle trees, hibiscus tree paths, and rose of Sharon park paths alone have limitations in providing particular appeal or interest to encourage voluntary outings for families, elderly people living alone, and single-person households in economic poverty, as well as those with reduced social activity or isolation, reduced physical activity, lack or reduced outdoor activity, exposure to psychological depression, increased rigidity and caution, increased introversion due to shrinking social relationships and sense of connection caused by economic poverty, and a sense of loss of social roles.

[0122] Therefore, the present invention is designed to pair the flowers on the street with the many flowers that provide more vibrancy and sights when together with the flowers in flower gardens, flower parks, flower paths, and flower villages, which make the flowers look more beautiful and pretty and give a sense of stability and happiness, and to pair them with the butterflies (777) that fly freely in the open sky. This spatial and temporal sight solves the various problems mentioned above and achieves the purpose of serving and caring for the people, such as social welfare and national welfare desired by the national and local governments.

[0123] The butterfly rearing device (1) of the present invention, which protects butterfly larvae and allows the entry and exit of butterflies, is structured or configured as a body (3) capable of protecting butterfly-related life forms from external predators, such as butterfly eggs (not shown), butterfly larvae (77), butterfly pupae (not shown), and adult butterflies (777) capable of flying with wings, such as those that can fly by propelling themselves from the ground (not shown) or parts of plants (65), and can freely fly in three dimensions in the air, sky or open air, void, atmosphere, above the surface of the earth, above the ground, or in the air or atmosphere (not shown or omitted), and can accommodate butterflies (777) that can fly leisurely in the sky or space, open air, atmosphere, or air, while protecting them from external predators. Alternatively, the flying butterfly (777) is characterized by having multiple grooves (5) formed in a part of the body (3) that allow it to freely enter and exit the body (3) or pass through the body (3).

[0125] Therefore, this invention is intended to ensure that the butterflies (777) not visible in Fig. 1 to Fig. 7 can fly around in parks, flower paths, flower gardens, flower villages, flower walking paths, and indoor and outdoor flower-filled places of buildings, so that they do not feel lonely. It is also an invention that naturally shows the scenery or view of butterflies flying freely in the sky, so that this place is a beautiful land of Korea, a precious country, and a place of joy and happiness. Before patriotism, it is an invention that serves and honors the people so that they can live while seeing and feeling their emotional, aesthetic, and psychological stability and happiness, as well as memories of exciting and joyful days right before their eyes. It is also an invention that enables the people to be healthy and happy, and to achieve the purpose of developing into an advanced welfare state with happy and safe butterflies in their surroundings.

[0126] Just think about it! There are many citizens who live alone in elderly care facilities (or single-person households) for years, with no one visiting them during holidays like Lunar New Year, Chuseok, or their birthdays. Due to the overuse, misuse, or abuse of medication... they are discovered by someone after several days and called 119... In addition to grateful social workers, caregivers, and visiting welfare services, if we can solve the problem of citizens who refuse such grateful welfare support and live in social isolation relying solely on food, clothing, and shelter, we can create flower festivals using surrounding flowers, flower paths, flower gardens, flower trees, flower parks, flower bicycle paths, flower walks, flowers in flowerpots along rivers, and flowers on bridges. If we make it common for our citizens to see various butterflies (777) flying around them every day, our citizens will be more able to see moving butterflies flying around in addition to the static landscape facilities (parks, playgrounds, elderly care facilities, etc.) and landscape plants. When our people look at the butterflies (777), the eyes filled with sorrow, lonely and solitary, sad and sick, and eyes squinting with hunger, cold, and chills, the eyes of our people will see the butterflies (777). By following the movement of the butterflies (777), the retina, optic nerve, and brain will be activated, and cognitive and reflex nerves will be stimulated. With physical and optic nerve rhythms, they will open their eyes wide and go out to see the butterflies (777), exercising and getting sunlight, naturally providing physical and mental health, bright smiles, happiness, and psychological stability. This will be an invention that aims to contribute to the development of an advanced and happy nation by raising health and happiness indices, and is expected to have an effect.

[0127] This invention is expected to have an effect on the national development of the Republic of Korea, helping the country develop and maintain its status as an advanced nation by making the entire country famous worldwide, thereby promoting the tourism industry, improving the tourism balance of payments, and attracting large-scale investments, which in turn boost national economic power and national competitiveness.

[0128] For this purpose, FIG. 9 is an external perspective view of a butterfly rearing device (1) that protects butterfly larvae and allows the entry and exit of butterflies, which is an embodiment of the present invention, and

[0136] FIG. 14 is a perspective view showing a cross-sectional view of a part of FIG. 12, and

[0137] Fig. 15 is another perspective view showing a partial cut of Fig. 12.

[0139] The body (3) of the butterfly rearing device (1) of the present invention, which protects the butterfly larvae while allowing the butterfly to enter and exit, is composed of several panels (13) having a certain area or size. The material of these boards or panels (13) is made of various materials such as wood, plastic, metal plate, porcelain or earthenware, ceramic, clay plate, waterproof sheet, waterproof paper, coated paper, etc.

[0140] This invention allows for the production or assembly of a body (3) that is penetrated in various designs, shapes, and forms by making these panels (13) individually or in multiples and joining them together using adhesive (not shown) or by joining them with screws (not shown), and can be used, transported, sold, exhibited, displayed, used at events, senior centers, homes of the disabled, school sports days, etc., in every corner of the country.

[0141] FIG. 11, which shows such a panel (13), is an example, and various applications, designs, and shapes can be produced.

[0142] For example, mold injection is possible to complete a hollow cylindrical body (3) by joining or assembling shapes or design applications such as triangles, squares, pentagons, hexagons, heptagons, octagons, or various free curves.

[0143] Alternatively, although not indicated or attached in the drawing, the body (3) can also be assembled with a perforated cylindrical or elliptical panel (13).

[0144] In addition, although not indicated or attached in the drawing, a single cylindrical or elliptical body (3) having a penetration part (7) is also possible.

[0145] Therefore, as shown in Fig. 10, it is possible to have a body (3) assembled from multiple panels (13) or a body (3) consisting of a single panel (13). To put it simply, it is described as a drum shape having a penetration part (7).

[0146] And in a part of these panels (13) or the body (3)

[0147] While protecting the larvae and adults of the butterfly (777) from natural enemies, the butterfly (777) that has wings and flies has several grooves (5) that allow it to freely enter and exit.

[0148] These grooves (5) are configured or made possible by having a size, height, area, or passage structure that allows a butterfly to fold its wings and move freely.

[0149] To explain the groove (5) in more detail, the width in the horizontal and transverse directions is preferably 2 mm to 10 mm. And the height of the width is sufficient if it is a height or length through which the vertical wing length of the butterfly (777) can pass.

[0150] More specifically, it is desirable to have at least 2 times the maximum width and about 10 times.

[0151] More specifically, since the maximum width is 10 mm, a height of about 20 mm to 60 mm, which is twice that amount, is desirable.

[0152] And the thickness of the body (3) or panel (13) is preferably 0.25 mm to 25 mm.

[0153] That is, the feature is that multiple grooves (5) are formed, which can be any shape, design, form, structure, composition, function, or purpose through which the butterfly (777) can freely pass or move.

[0154] Accordingly, the body (3) of the present invention is positioned or placed on a separate flooring material (not shown), a building, a ground floor, a floor or a bottom part (35) to form a sealed internal space (33), and thus can provide the entire ecological cycle of a butterfly (777) in various places, at various times or seasons.

[0156] In the present invention (1), the food plants (63) for the butterfly larvae (77) are cruciferous plants such as broccoli, cauliflower, sorghum, kale, watercress, cabbage, Chinese cabbage, and radish. This invention allows for raising various Korean butterflies (777) in facilities that regulate or compensate for the surrounding temperature and humidity in various places or seasons, by directly planting these food plants (63) in a flowerpot (61), outdoor soil (35), or field (35).

[0157] In an example, the present invention (1) is contained in a sealed space (33) that is enclosed on all sides and contains a cabbage (63) in a cabbage field or a cabbage (63) planted in a cabbage field or a cabbage (63) that can be eaten by a butterfly larva (77), a pot (61) in which cabbage (63) is planted or a pot (61) containing a plant that can be eaten by a butterfly larva (77).

[0158] Naturally, these cabbage (63), cabbage (63), and food plants contain butterfly eggs (not shown), butterfly larvae (77), butterfly pupae (not shown), and butterflies (777). These contents can be placed from the outside at intervals, supplied into a sealed space (33), inserted, input, or pushed in to exist, or the present invention (1) can be installed by covering the place where they were.

[0159] In another embodiment, the present invention (1) may be used by placing it on the floor or ground (35) of a building so that the interior is naturally sealed, and in a sealed space (33) there may be a flowerpot (61) containing a cabbage (63) or a cabbage (63) food plant (63) and a butterfly egg (not shown), a butterfly larva (77), a butterfly pupa (not shown), or a butterfly (777) in the food plant (63).

[0160] Among the butterflies (777) in Korea, the flying cabbage butterfly (777) feeds on nectar from flowers such as daisy fleabane, buckwheat, radish, cabbage, cabbage, and thistle, and is known to particularly like yellow, white, and purple flowers (67).

[0161] In the present invention (1), flowers (67) such as daisy fleabane, buckwheat, radish, napa cabbage, cabbage, and thistle can be placed together. This is so that a butterfly (777) can supply honey in the internal space (33) of the present invention.

[0162] Therefore, various flowers (67) that adult butterflies like can also be placed inside the present invention (1).

[0164] As shown in Fig. 12, when viewed from the outside, it appears to be completely sealed on all sides, so it has the characteristic of being protected from birds, snakes, and bats, which are natural enemies of butterflies.

[0165] That is, since this sealed body (1) is on the ground, it obstructs the view of predators and, because it is a flower path or around flowers where people walk, it naturally makes it difficult for predators of butterflies, such as birds, snakes, and bats, to approach due to fear and caution.

[0166] In addition, the groove (777) is a configuration or structure that allows for movement, entry and exit, movement, movement from one side of the body (3) to the other, and free passage or movement inside and outside the body (3) by utilizing the groove (5) formed in multiple or numerous places on a part of the body (3) of the present invention.

[0167] That is, the butterfly (777) has the characteristic of being able to freely enter and exit, move, enter, and pass through one of the grooves (5) formed in a part of the body (3).

[0169] The present invention is characterized by the ability to be used or applied to places with food plants (65), such as cabbage (63) or kale, or flowers, or flower pots (61), so that a space or facility is needed for butterflies to live freely, and at the same time, a space where butterfly eggs, butterfly larvae (77), and butterflies (777) can live safely.

[0170] So, as the butterfly (777) freely enters and exits through these grooves (5), it is protected from the butterfly eggs, butterfly larvae (77), and natural enemies of the butterfly (777) outside the body (3), such as birds like pigeons, swallows, and magpies, as well as snakes and bats.

[0171] The composition or structure is suitable for use in various places, such as fields or roadsides where there are plants where butterfly larvae can feed, like cabbage fields or cabbage fields, as well as schools, parks, flower gardens, river paths, flowerpots, and roadsides.

[0172] So, while living as a larva and a butterfly, there are food plants (65) available for feeding, and plants such as cabbage and Chinese cabbage, or flowering trees and flowers, are also protected, allowing them to live like a home.

[0173] So, the invention allows the butterfly (777) to freely enter and exit the groove (5) of the body (3) which is its home.

[0175] And on the upper side, it is a structure or configuration that forms an internal sealed space (33) by covering it with a cover (51) or using a stopper.

[0176] Body (3) having a penetrating internal space

[0177] And in a part of the body (3), there is a butterfly information notification board (101) that can provide or inform tourists or the public about various information such as the type of butterfly egg, butterfly larva (77), butterfly pupa, and the expected maiden flight date of the butterfly (777) living inside the body (5), the location or place, the place of movement, the person who raised it, the sponsoring organization, the name of the butterfly's food plant (Chinese cabbage, cabbage, broccoli, radish, chili pepper, bok choy, etc.), and the name or information of the butterfly.

[0178] This nameplate (101) functions as a guide plate, and also has a wireless communication function. A part of the nameplate (101) is composed of an RFID or NFC module (not shown) and an antenna (not shown) that can wirelessly communicate with a smartphone or computer, or an electronic circuit board (not shown) that has such functions or is formed with such functions, and transmits content or information related to a butterfly (777) with a wireless communication function to a smartphone (not shown), and is a communication nameplate (101).

[0179] In the present invention, the nameplate (101) having such electronic wireless communication functions has various guidance information stored in the memory section of the electronic circuit, such as the date or information of the upcoming adult insect, food plants (63), and flowers (67), ranging from the types of butterflies accommodated in the present invention (1), and wireless communication is possible with a tag or NFC module or commercially available NFC sticker or NFC card.

[0180] In addition, the invention has the function of providing information such as the number of butterflies (777), the type of host plant, the installation date, location information, the date when the butterfly eggs inside the body (3) will become butterflies (777) and fly, and the expected date of the maiden flight of the butterflies (777), along with current location information at the event venue. It also has the feature of a butterfly information notification nameplate (101) made of various materials such as plastic, acrylic, wood, charcoal, gold, silver, copper, zinc, alloy, tungsten, carbon fiber, stone, stone, ceramic, fine ceramic, glass, porcelain, porcelain, silicon, paper, silk, fabric, leather, vinyl, a design with a butterfly photo, and an NFC chip capable of communicating with a smartphone. The invention has the feature of being able to transmit information to a smartphone via the NFC chip.

[0181] In addition, the invention has the feature that information such as the types of Korean butterflies (777), ecological information, food plants (63), the months from January to December in which they live in nature, habitats, favorite flowers or plants, and breeding methods can be transmitted to a smartphone via an NFC chip that can communicate with a smartphone (not shown) from the butterfly information notification plate (101).

[0183] The present invention has the feature of being able to freely provide or inform tourists or the public about information regarding butterflies (777) and butterfly food plants, etc., by moving, transporting, and supplying butterfly eggs into the body (3), or by updating, modifying, correcting, adding new content, etc., as needed, using a pen, pencil, printer, silk screen printing, woodworking, metalworking, metalworking, cutting, welding, cutting, bending, sewing, ultrasonic bonding, high-frequency bonding, adhesive bonding, etc.

[0184] This invention allows a butterfly egg or butterfly larva (77) to be placed on a food plant (63) growing in various places or in a flowerpot (61) containing such food plant (63), and protected and preserved by the present invention (1), and then delivered and transported to various places or spaces, and the environment is adjusted so that the butterfly (777) can fly outside the present invention (1) and fly around the surroundings.

[0185] At this time, since the butterfly (777) eyes have a sense of ultraviolet light in addition to visible light, the body (3) may be made opaque using an ultraviolet blocking film, ultraviolet blocking pigment, paint, or plastic when making the panel (13) or body (3).

[0186] The location of the home (5) can be clearly identified.

[0187] Alternatively, when manufacturing a panel (13) or body (3) with plastic, if a UV-blocking pigment is added when using a transparent material or pigment, the food plants (63) for the food larva (77) inside the body (1) or such food plants (63) can live and be used as food for the butterfly larva (77). Even though the material is transparent, the UV-blocking groove (5) is clearly and distinctly visible to the butterfly (777), thereby protecting the butterfly larva of the present invention and allowing the butterfly to freely enter and exit the butterfly rearing device (1). This invention has the characteristic of providing freedom of entry and exit.

[0188] A butterfly rearing device (1) that protects butterfly larvae while allowing the entry and exit of butterflies can protect the butterflies (777) from natural enemies, and clearly position the groove (5) for the butterflies (777) to freely go out, thereby safely demonstrating and showing the butterflies (777) to tourists and the public. This invention allows the public to observe and view butterflies (777) anytime and anywhere, thereby making tourist destinations across the country more valuable and providing rewarding tourism and attractions.

[0189] It is a beneficial invention that provides the public with emotional stability, a sense of mystery, and tourism revenue.

[0190] The present invention is characterized by a body (3) that can be moved or fixed, containing a food plant (63) that a butterfly larva (77) can eat and which can be fixed as a pupa, and a body (3) of various shapes that is perforated or open at the bottom, capable of providing a natural ecological butterfly (777) and a butterfly ecological full cycle of being raised, and having multiple entrances or perforated grooves (5) formed so that the butterfly (777) can move in and out of the body (3) or pass through. The invention is characterized by providing freedom of entry and exit of a butterfly raising device (1) that protects the butterfly larva and allows the butterfly to enter and exit.

[0192] It is a body (3) having an internal receiving space (33), and

[0193] Several grooves (5) through which water and air pass are formed in a part of the body (3), and

[0194] The body (3) has a food plant (63) that a butterfly larva (77) can eat and a butterfly pupa can attach to in the internal space (33) of the body (3), and is a body (3) formed with several grooves (5) that allow a winged butterfly (777) to pass through or enter and exit with its wings folded, while protecting the natural ecological butterfly (777) from the food plant and allowing ventilation.

[0195] The present invention is characterized by having multiple entrances or penetrating grooves (5) formed so that a butterfly (777) can move in and out of the body (3) or pass through. The invention is characterized by providing freedom of movement in and out of a butterfly rearing device (1) that protects the butterfly larva and allows the butterfly to enter and exit.

[0196] To explain the groove (5) formed in a part of the body (3) in more detail, the width in the horizontal and transverse directions is preferably about 2 mm to 13 mm. And the height of the width is sufficient if it is a height or length through which the vertical wing length of the butterfly (777) can pass.

[0197] More specifically, it is desirable to have at least 2 times the maximum width and about 10 times.

[0198] More specifically, since the maximum width is 10 mm, a height of about 20 mm to 100 mm, which is twice that amount, is desirable.

[0199] And the thickness of the body (3) or panel (13) is preferably 0.25 mm to 25 mm.

[0201] The inside (inner, inner part) of the groove (5) formed in a part of the body (3) is characterized by having a protrusion (9) formed therein, which can provide a place or space for the butterfly (777) to rest and prepare around the groove (5) when it begins its maiden flight outside the body (3).

[0202] These protrusions (9) function as runways for airplanes to take off or land, in the case of an airport.

[0203] Alternatively, these protrusions (9) are described as having a function similar to a landing pad or takeoff pad for a drone or helicopter to take off or land.

[0204] And although not attached to the drawing, it has a feature of having a configuration or structure such that a protrusion (9) is formed on the outer and inner sides of the body (3) to provide a place or space for rest, preparation for flying, or jumping around such a groove (5) in a part of the body (3).

[0205] Naturally, these protrusions (9) formed on the outer side or outside of the body (3) or on a part of the outer surface function like a runway for an airplane to take off or land, to use an airport as an example.

[0206] Alternatively, these protrusions (9) are described as having a function similar to a landing pad or takeoff pad for a drone or helicopter to take off or land.

[0208] These protrusions (9) can be formed in multiple numbers, multiple layers, single layers, or multiple layers on a part of the outer surface of the body (3). The width, thickness, and length of these protrusions (9) are not limited, and the protrusions (9) are formed in various designs, shapes, and shapes, and are characterized by existing, positioning, fixing, or being formed in such a way that they can be formed in various designs, shapes, and shapes.

[0209] The invention is capable of protecting the butterfly larvae and blocking the open bottom of the butterfly rearing device (1), which allows the entry and exit of the butterfly, with a bottom plate (not shown), placing a flowerpot (61), a food plant (63), and butterfly eggs or butterfly larvae (77) in the internal space (33), and moving, delivering, or transporting to another location so that butterflies (777) are born in another location and can provide a scene of butterflies (777) flying around the invention or actual flying butterflies (777).

[0210] This invention is capable of raising butterflies in places such as kindergartens, daycare centers, schools, senior living facilities, public offices, indoor and outdoor areas of buildings, parks, mountain paths, walking trails, roads, bridges, event venues, training camps, trenches, etc., and also inside warships, submarines, and ships. By showing many butterflies (777) flying freely to many people, including elderly people living alone who live desolate and isolated lives, it is possible to provide a sense of mystery, psychological stability, relief from loneliness, increased happiness, increased joy, laughter, and leisure to the people, thereby helping them be happy and healthy in mind and body, and helping them live a long and healthy life, thus having the effect of showing filial piety.

[0211] Therefore, the present invention is characterized by the ability to raise butterflies (777) in various outdoor locations in a natural butterfly climate at a desired location or time, thereby enabling the creation of a spectacular scene or landscape where real butterflies (777) are freely flying in the sky around the present invention.

[0213] Accordingly, the claims of the present invention can be summarized or organized as follows:

[0215] In a butterfly rearing device (1) that protects butterfly larvae and allows the entry and exit of butterflies,

[0216] A body (3) having a certain volume capable of accommodating and protecting a butterfly larva (77) and having an open bottom, and

[0217] A plurality of grooves (5) through which a butterfly (777) can pass are formed in a part of the above body (3),

[0218] The width of the above groove (5) is within 2 mm to 13 mm, and the height is within 20 mm to 100 mm.

[0219] The above-mentioned body (3) is a butterfly rearing device (1) that protects butterfly larvae and allows butterflies to enter and exit, characterized by housing butterfly eggs or butterfly larvae (77) together with a food plant (63) for butterfly larvae (77) or a flowerpot (61) in which the food plant (63) is planted on the bottom surface where the above-mentioned body (3) is located, and allowing adult butterflies (777) to freely enter and exit through the groove (5) of the above-mentioned body (3).

[0221] In addition, the butterfly rearing device (1) is characterized by having a protrusion (9) formed on the inner or outer side or a part of the inner and outer side around the groove (5) of the body (3) so that the butterfly (777) can rest, prepare to fly, or jump.

[0223] This invention allows the butterfly to be raised freely in a space where the temperature and humidity are controlled or suitable, with the food plant (63) and butterfly eggs or butterfly larvae (77) freely raised, so that they can go out of the body (3) on their own and fly into the sky, air, or atmosphere.

[0224] The body (3) may be in the shape of an inverted container with an open bottom, or a body (3) with a cover (51).

[0225] When made of a single body (3), a small size generally within 1 m² is desirable.

[0226] And in the case of a large size of 1 m² or more, it is preferable to manufacture it with a body (3) and a cover (51).

[0227] Thus, this invention enables the safe raising of a large number of rare butterflies (777) that are flying around in various environments where temperature and humidity are controlled (such as plant cultivation facilities), in spaces or places where plants grow, in spaces or places where flowers grow, or at event venues, in addition to the native Korean butterflies (777) that are disappearing or becoming extinct, into adult butterflies (777) in large quantities or continuously, and to make them fly out of the body (3) safely, freely, and naturally toward the sky, thereby creating a spectacular sight.
