A Butterfly - beautiful + fragile

Definition Butterfly
A butterfly is a nectar-feeding insect with two pairs of large, typically colorful wings, not related to moths by having clubbed or dilated antennae, holding their wings erect when at rest, being day-active.

Swallowtails, Sulphurs, Harvesters, Hairstreaks, Monarchs, Fritillary, Emperors, Satyrs
Swallowtail butterfly feeding on native plants at Bear Springs Blossom nature preserve in the Texas Hill Country. Characteristics differentiating the Papilionidae from the other butterfly families: presence of the osmeterium, a forked, fleshy eversible organ found in the prothoracic segment of papilionid caterpillars. Venation in the adult forewing of papilionids is characteristic. In swallowtails, the second anal vein, extends up to the wing margin and does not link with the first anal vein. These veins are fused in other butterfly families. The sclerites of the cervix are fused beneath the neck where the muscles for head movement are anchored. Butterfly conservation is part of human conservation

Beautiful Butterfly

beautiful, a very important pollinator, a fragile insect!

Can you imagine 20000 butterfly species? That's how many different butterflies exist on Earth.
Butterfly wings have a very delicate construction, with overlapping microscopic scales resulting in these wonderful special colors and patterns.
About 400 butterfly species call Texas home.
Many butterflies are migratory, what means they travel long distances.
The Texas State butterfly is the Monarch; these butterflies travel over 3000 miles during migration.

Why do we see less Monarch butterflies?

Something went wrong with the spring monarch migration. Not many of us have caught sight of more than a few of the iconic insects currently on their journey through Texas.

There are some key culprits of the population collapse of this most recognizable of our butterflies.
Soggy weather and illegal logging have both indisputably reduced the Monarch butterflies at their Mexican over-wintering grounds.

Not many know that the on-going loss of habitat in the United States, as well as our widespread use of toxic herbicides, pesticides, and use of genetically modified corn, threatens many butterfly species.
Butterflies need milkweed as breeding ground, but humans destroy it. The use of Roundup Ready crops, herbicide-ready crops is contra-productive.
This year, monarchs migration conditions are very hard. The exceptional drought in Texas and northern Mexico is just on their route to the overwintering sites. Monarch have to spend considerable time building up their fat reserves by drinking the sugar-laden nectar from wildflowers.
This year the landscape in Texas is parched, no wildflowers, no frost-weed blossoms to feed on. Without this food winter survival in Mexico and the migration back into the US the following spring is gravely endangered, many will die of starvation.
Industrial agricultural practices, the eradication of Monarch's primary food source, the milkweed, have eliminated more than 80 million acres of monarch habitat in recent years.

 A map of fall monarch migration
Soggy weather had an impact on the already vulnerable population. In 2009, the species limped into central Mexico at its lowest numbers since researchers began doing population counts in the 1970s.
While previous crashes in 2002 and 2004 occurred when the populations were above average, this year the population was at an all time low and then there was the crash that halved that low number. Another, a back-to-back crash would be particularly devastating.
When the butterflies reach their breeding ground around the Great Lakes region, they will be met with sprawling stands of soy and corn crops. Herbicide-tolerant crops that led to an increase in the amount of toxic spraying that has a very negative impact on monarchs.
And some of Bt corn varieties are damaging butterflies.
Researchers could prove that monarch larvae fed milkweed leaves dusted with Bt-corn pollen ate less, developed more slowly, and died more frequently than those fed milkweed untainted by the transgenic pollen.
More recent research suggests that not many monarchs are threatened by exposure to Bt-corn pollen, so the total impact is small.
And while Mexico's butterfly reserves and Midwest breeding grounds may feel far from us in South Texas, there is a lot local residents can do to help.

Texas Monarch routes are essential for the northward migration. It is here where the monarchs first rush of egg laying. So the conditions here in Texas play a big role in the success of future monarch generations going north.

The Monarch has recently been added to the World Wildlife Fund's Top Ten Most Threatened Species list and the overwintering population this winter is the lowest ever recorded.
during Monarch migration Monarchs are looking for food, found here at an evergreen sumac at Bear Springs Blossom Nature Preserve on Oct 15 2011

What can YOU do?
You can cut down on your pesticide use and rush out to plant some milkweed, sunflowers, and other plants. The Butterfly Bush is good for many butterflies.
Our butterflies need our help to survive all the threats:
A) Industrial agriculture
B) Toxic chemicals
C) Deforestation accompanied by urban sprawl
D) More violent weather

The oxygen cycle influences weather, climate, making life on Earth possible. Bear Springs Blossom nature conservation's education programs explain how important oxygen is, preserving life without protecting oxygen levels is the wrong solution
Science about chemicals in air. Main ingredient of air is Nitrogen, essential for life on Earth. Nitrogen fertilizer helps crops feeding livestock to grow. Overuse of nitrogen fertilizer produces greenhouse gases, causing warmer climate. Nitrogen fertilizer washed into rivers, oceans causing algae bloom, killing marine life.

conservation education online Chemistry: Global Dimming is one part of climate change. B+S+B Nature conservation acts on global dimming, because it is caused by air pollution. Causes: Burning fossil fuels fast in huge amounts. Air pollution facts: Mercury as a gas, poisoning Earth's atmosphere, mercury vapor circulates for up to a year. Photo-chemical oxidation starts becomes inorganic mercury combining with water vapors travelling back to Earth’s surface. Mercury can be in every rain drop, poisoning the soil, the creeks, and lakes. Mercury can converse by bacteria into insoluble mercury-sulfide or methyl-mercury.Visual particles reduces sunlight to hit Earth = global dimming = smog. Pollutants + aerosols cause human illnesses as asthma, heart disease, respiratory sickness, cancer, Parkinson, Alzheimer globally. Global action + global solutions: Fight global warming, climate change, global dimming
