The Island Marble Butterfly was thought to be extinct for almost 100 years, but in 1998 it was re-discovered during a prairie survey at American Camp in San Juan Island National Historical Park.
San Juan Island in Washington state is the last bastion of hope for one of the rarest butterflies in North America: the Island Marble Butterfly. This rare pollinator was thought to be extinct for almost 100 years, but in 1998 it was re-discovered during a prairie survey at American Camp in San Juan Island National Historical Park. Specimens of the butterfly had also been previously found in Lopez Island, Vancouver Island and Gabriola Island in British Columbia.
