The caterpillar of the Karner blue butterfly is picky. Feeding solely on leaves of the wild lupine plant, the federally endangered butterfly can live only where lupine thrives.
In Ohio - where lupine is potentially threatened - the Conservancy's Kitty Todd Preserve within the Oak Openings Region is the only location in the state where these butterflies continue to exist.
But it wasn't always that
way. [. . .]
