Endangered Species: Save Our Species Information - Mission Blue Butterfly

This small butterfly spends its life near one plant - the lupine - which grows in wet, sandy, grassy areas around San Francisco, California. The butterfly is losing its home because the areas it depends on have been used as sites for houses, offices, factories, and farms.
