How one man repopulated a rare butterfly species in his backyard

The California pipevine swallowtail butterfly is a wonder to behold. For centuries, the California pipevine swallowtail — or, Battus philenor hirsuta — called San Francisco home. As development increased in the early 20th century, the butterfly slowly began to disappear. Today it is a rare sight.

But one man's DIY efforts are starting to bring the butterfly back.

This is a really cool read. Enjoy!
