The Checkerspot Butterfly is also a native species, however it is endangered and only found at Edgewood Park. Their natural habitat is in grasslands, which are currently being destroyed by humans. There are also other species of grasses that limit the growth of a specific type of nectar flower that the butterfly's depend on.
