2022/03/07 05:30〔記者黃淑莉／雲林報導〕台灣紫斑蝶生態保育協會執行紫斑蝶遷移調查撿蝶屍，上週五在國三林內段拾獲一隻去年底在茂林標放的紫斑蝶，創下歷年最早發現紀錄，今年山區水氣豐沛，協會預計遷移數量會比去年好，且本週起林內應可觀賞到大量紫斑過境生態奇景。

陳瑞祥指出，協會工作人員張瑋凱在國三南下二五四．四公里處拾獲的蝶屍是去年十二月十七日在高雄茂林生態公園由協會義工標放，歷經七十七天飛行上百公里到林內。

陳瑞祥表示，義工上月廿八日在茂林上空及荖農溪觀察到有大量紫斑蝶往北飛行，最大量每分鐘約四百隻，根據過去觀察，南部出現大量後約五、六天，林內即可看到成群紫斑蝶，預估這波鋒面通過後，本週起只要天氣晴朗穩定，在國道三林內觸口段有機會觀賞到大量紫斑蝶飛越國道的生態景象。

林內紫斑蝶活動 3/26起登場林內鄉長張維崢指出，紫斑蝶與北美洲的帝王斑蝶被稱為世界二個大規模越冬型蝴蝶，每年三月中旬到四月中旬會飛抵林內，越跨濁水溪往北遷，因為在清明節前後出現，早年村民稱為「清明蝶」，今年林內紫斑蝶季系列活動從三月廿六日至四月三日登場。
