Discovering new species on earth is an extremely difficult process. It is more difficult to explore the land than the ocean, because the number of land species on the earth is close to saturation, but we still have a large area of the ocean that has not been detected. It is extremely easy to find new creatures in the ocean, but the opposite is true on land. The process of finding new species is also extremely difficult, and there are many conditions to be met. First of all, it is a species that has never been discovered or recorded. At the same time, it must be satisfied that the specimen must be a male and a female, and it can be regarded as the discovery of new species after the preparation of the paper and international recognition.
New Species Found in Fujian, China
After the emergence of these new species, we have a deeper understanding of the earth, and also enrich the biological resource pool on the earth. In July this year, a new species was discovered in Fujian, China, and named after the discoverer. At present, it has also obtained the certification of the highest international authoritative animal classification. So what kind of new species did this Fujian man discover?
Named after the discoverer
This is a kind of longicorn. The person who found him was Huang Jianbin, so this longhorn beetle was named after him, Huang Jianbin's rough longhorn beetle. The process of discovering it is also very interesting, which can be said to be an accident. At that time, it was found that it was hiding in a temple on a rainy day. Before that, he had a deep understanding and research on longicorn beetles. In the temple, he found a longicorn crawling on the wall. He has never seen such a longicorn before. After simple thinking, he thought it might be a new species.
He quickly collected this species and brought it back to the laboratory for research and anatomy. Finally, with the help of the team staff, he determined that this is indeed a new species. Unfortunately, he caught the male and didn't find the female, so he couldn't be certified to publish relevant papers internationally at that time. Maybe this is fate. Unexpectedly, not long after, another researcher in the same studio found the female longicorn beetle of the same species in Fujian Province. This means that they can certify new species.
Degradation has occurred.
According to the discoverer, this longicorn beetle is not good at flying, but climbs for a long time. Because of this, the wings on its back have begun to show signs of degradation, and it can only eat some dead leaves on the ground, which also helps nature clean itself up. The reason why this kind of longicorn beetle was not found before is because its living environment is far from human living areas. Through its living habits, it is determined that this kind of longicorn may be a beneficial insect.
Huang Jianbin said that he will continue to search for unknown species in some forests in Fulin Province in the future, because the forest coverage here is high and many species have not been discovered. This is really something to be proud of.
