Abstract:

The St. Francis' satyr is an endangered butterfly that lives only in the artillery impact zones of Fort Bragg in Fayetteville. It was discovered in June 1983 by an off-duty soldier who happened to be an amateur insect collector. In 1995, the butterfly was listed as an endangered species. Biologists are working on a plan to rescue it.
