I found an endangered butterfly called Fender's Blue. It can only survive on one variety of lupine that grows in Oregon's Willamette Valley.

    Beautiful. I’m in the Willamette. I will keep an eye out. By chance do you have a recommended link to find out more?

      Ya here is some good info. The place to find them is Hagg Lake. Drive around the back side of the lake and there is a spot to pull over that has an informational sign about the butterfly, and that’s where you can find several of these lupines and I’m sure you’ll find the butterfly too. I believe they are still in bloom now. Good luck!
