Fender's Blue T-Shirt
The Fender’s Blue Butterfly (Icaricia icarioides fenderi) is a very small (~1”) endangered species in the Willamette Valley, that relies on the also endangered Kincaid’s Lupine (Lupinus sulphureus ssp. kincaidii) as a host plant to survive. Prairie and Oak Savanah loss due to urbanization and commercial farming have led to roughly 5% of this unique habitat left in the Willamette Valley drastically impacting the survival of the Fender’s Blue Butterfly. The Fender’s Blue Butterfly (Icaricia icarioides fenderi) is a small (~1”) endangered species in the Willamette Valley, it relies on the also endangered Kincaid’s Lupine (Lupinus sulphureus ssp. kincaidii) as a host plant to survive. Native Prairie and Oak Savanah loss due to urbanization and commercial farming have led to roughly 5% of this unique habitat left in the Willamette Valley drastically impacting the survival of the Fender’s Blue Butterfly and its host plant the Kincaid’s Lupine. We hope that by commemorating this species in wearable form we can continue to provide educational context to the importance of Oak Savanah and encourage more folks in our region to re-think their landscape choices by planting native species so we dont lose even more amazing fauna and habitat.
