So you Want to Save a Species?

MISSION - The National Butterfly Center is calling all citizen scientists to assist with a native plant survey across one dozen South Texas counties, in search of two species of succulent, Texas Tuberose (Manfreda maculosa) and Longflower Tuberose (Manfreda longiflora). These two plant species are limited in both range and in numbers. As a result, the butterfly that depends upon it as host, the Manfreda Giant Skipper (Stallingsia maculosus), has practically disappeared from the landscape.
