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.
