This Man Repopulated a Rare Butterfly Species In His Own Backyard

[BluesRunTheGame]

The so-called pipevine swallowtail of California has iridescent blue-colored wings, and collectors consider them among the most important and magnificent ones found in the area of North America.



This beautiful butterfly thrives in San Francisco for centuries, and also around the so-called Bay Area. However, as this particular region was increasingly urbanized during the early 1900s, this butterfly species started disappearing. Nowadays, people living there can extremely rarely spot it.

Tim Wong, who is an aquatic biologist at the Academy of Sciences in California, made the bringing of this butterfly his personal goal and mission, and he is on the way of something very promising.

1. I have been trying to attract that very butterfly into my yard.

But now I see that one solitary plant isn't going to hack it.

2. they are the reason you almost never find a mature seed pod on pipevines

fortunately they stay alive a long time due to a big tuber underground. the butterflies are beautiful, the caterpillars...ugh. then again, I have a bit of a phobia for lepidoptera larvae anyway. that image of them all over his hand would have a trigger warning if I had my way. LOL
