How One Man Singlehandedly Repopulated a Rare Butterfly Species in His Backyard

Long gone from their home in San Francisco, the California pipevine swallowtail is back thanks to one man transforming his yard into a habitat for them The iridescent blue wings of the California pipevine swallowtail are considered by collectors to be among the most magnificent in North America. For centuries …

As the California pipevine plant was displaced from San Francisco by urban sprawl, the California pipevine swallowtail, which relies on the pipevine plant to feed its caterpillars, also disappeared. That is, until a biologist named Tim Wong made it his mission to repopuplate the species in his own backyard.

Armed only with a cutting of California pipevine from the San Francisco Botanical Garden, Tim created a screened in butterfly enclosure in his backyard and began to reproduce California pipevines.

As new butterflies were born, Tim would donate them to the San Francisco Botanical Gardens where their pipevine host plant could still be found.

“At first he brought them in by the hundreds. Now he brings them in by the thousands every few months.”

While most of us don’t have the power to create habitat for endangered rhinos or tigers, anyone with a little bit of outdoor space can help create habitat for endangered insects!

You can:

-plant a pollinator garden with native nectar-producing plants

-plant host plants of local butterfly species

-leave piles of fallen leaves or sticks in your yard as habitat for native bees

-avoid using pesticides (or use them as sparingly as possible) around your home and yard

“Improving habitat for native fauna is something anyone can do. Conservation and stewardship can start in your very own backyard.” -Tim Wong

when ur in a really bad mood and one mildly inconvenient thing happens

[humansofnewyork]

“My family really wants me to get a boyfriend.  And they’re pushing it hard.  I have five grandmothers.  Actually my grandmother has four sisters, and I call them all ‘grandmother.’  They’re the ones who raised me.  They brought me to school.  They gave me whatever I wanted: toys, dresses, horse riding lessons.  They completely spoiled me.  But all of them are very conservative.  And every time I go home to visit, the conversations seem to get narrower and narrower.  There’s nothing about how I want to live my life.  Or my plans for my career.  It’s always: ‘When are you coming back to Hungary?’, and ‘Did you get a boyfriend yet?’  When they were young life was very difficult without a man.  All of them got married around the age of eighteen.  So they think I’m running out of time.  They’re obsessed with me meeting someone, and they always have the perfect person in mind: nice boy, tall, curly hair, great family.  They’ve introduced me to five boys already.  The last time was an ambush.  I was home on holiday, and they told me a ‘special someone’ would be joining us for Sunday lunch.  He was ‘studying to be a lawyer,’ and ‘so very handsome’, which turned out to be a bit of an exaggeration.  It was so awkward.  They sat him right next to me.  They kept saying: ‘Isn’t she so pretty?  Can you believe she’s never had a boyfriend?’  And whenever there was silence, they’d say: ‘You have this in common, so you should talk about that.’  This went on for two hours.  His face was so red the entire time.  After he left, I set a rule: no more introductions.  Never, ever again.” (Amsterdam, The Netherlands)

[normal-horoscopes]

I AM AN EXCELLENT DM BUT I AM NOT A NICE ONE

[normal-horoscopes]

I AM KNOWN IN MY LOCAL TABLETOP CIRCLES FOR INCREDIBLY COMPLEX POLITICAL MURDER MYSTERY NARRATIVES THAT FORCE THE PLAYERS TO EXPLORE THE WORLD AND ITS CHARACTERS

[normal-horoscopes]

OH ITS FRUSTRATING AT FIRST BUT BY THE END MY PLAYERS FIND THEMSELVES HAVING FEBERISH IN CHARACTER PHILOSOPHICAL DEBATES ABOUT THE FAKE POLITICS I MADE UP

[normal-horoscopes]

ALSO AS A PREREQUISITE FOR SITTING AT MY TABLE I REQUIRE EVERY CHARACTER TO HAVE AT LEAST TWO GOALS NOT RELATED TO THE PLOT OF THE GAME

[normal-horoscopes]

I ABSOLUTELY RELISH IN TORTURING MY PLAYERS WITH WEIGHTY MORAL DESCISIONS

"DO YOU CONTINUE THE WAR TO SUPPORT THE KINGDOMS MARTIAL ECONOMY OR DO YOU LEGALIZE CHILD LABOR TO FILL THE GAP"

"YOU CAN SAVE THE OTHER PLAYER FROM BEING PERMENANTLY BLINDED BUT ONLY AT THE COST OF YOUR OWN SIGHT"

[normal-horoscopes]

TENSION! DRAMA! THIS IS WHAT A GAME NEEDS

I GIVE MY PLAYERS DARK CIRCUMSTANCES BECAUSE THAT IS THE ONLY TIME HEROISM CAN TRULY BE SHOWN

I MAKE SURE THAT HEROIC SACRAFICE IS REAL NOT JUST TO THE CHARACTERS BUT TO THE PLAYERS THEMSELVES

[jewels728]

I definitely need to get my players to have goals outside the campaign narrative. Excuse me while I text them.

[normal-horoscopes]

MAKE SURE ITS SOMETHING SPECIFIC AND ACHIEVABLE

I WANT FREEDOM FOR MY PEOPLE - BAD, TOO VAGUE

I WANT TO START A REVOLUTIONARY CELL - GOOD, SHORT, CLEAR, ACTIONABLE

[jungotorii]

Heyyy buddy do you make sure to check in with the players and make sure the ones at your table are comfortable with dark stuff like that?? If they're not then do you tell them that you are not the right DM for them?? Just saying certain stuff can be triggering and I don't want another "player's characters get raped DM" out there

[normal-horoscopes]

DRAMA =/= DARKNESS =/= VIOLENCE

IF YOU PULL SHIT LIKE THAT WITHOUT WARNING PEOPLE BEFOREHAND YOURE AN ASSHOLE
