In 2002, after a great deal of petitioning, an Emergency

Action was finally put into place by Florida Fish and Wildlife,

thus securing them a spot on the Endangered Species List.

In 2003, help finally came in the form of the

University of Florida's Captive Breeding program.

Hopefully, the Miami Blue will find the same successful

ending to their story as did the Schaus Swallowtail.

If you love Butterflies, please take your children

and yourself to the UF Natural History Museum.

This world class Museum is all free except for the

Butterfly Rainforest, a wonderland filled

 with living Butterflies of every description.

The walls in the free section are covered with so many,

that it could take you hours to see all of them.
