World's Rarest Butterfly

Palos Verdes Blue Butterfly = San Pedro, California,
is on the endangered species list because of over development.
It uses loco weed as a larval food plant.

he flight and reproductive period lasts from January to May.They are non-migratory and very particular in their use of larval foodplants, which is why a stable environment is required for them to survive. The Palos Verdes Blue's adult lifespan is only five days.
It takes a lot of love and care to raise them.

They are not as strong as the Monarch Butterfly which migrates from Canada all the way down into Mexico. It takes them three generations to do this.

Singapore has a butterfly and moth museum on Sentosa Island and I've seen some that were about a foot wide. It is such a pleasure to walk inside their butterfly building full of vegetation and be surrounded by these beauties flying all around you.
It's sorta like being in fairy land.
