Session Description
Colorado is renowned for its butterfly diversity. The variety of habitats and life zones support approximately 288 species. This number is bound to grow, with phylogenetic research clarifying the taxonomic status of many populations, and natural immigration accounting for new records at the periphery of the state. However, some species are disappearing, imperiled by urbanization, land use changes, invasive species, and climate change. The inclusion of invertebrates under the State Wildlife Action Plan has provided an opportunity to assess the status and conservation needs of Colorado’s butterfly fauna. Some declining species, like the Monarch butterfly, are well known to most Coloradans. But there are dozens of rare, poorly studied, and overlooked species that, until now, have lacked a voice in the conservation conversation. Come learn about the life history of some of these fascinating pollinators like the Orange-headed Roadside-Skipper, Regal Fritillary, and the Rocky Mountain Jutta Arctic.
