Welcome
The Miami Blue Chapter of the North American Butterfly Association is located in southeast Florida and named after one of our rarest butterflies.
Our chapter is working hard to meet the challenges of the 21st century as they apply to butterfly interests. Populations of Miami blue butterflies occurred in Bahia Honda State Park, the only easy-to-reach location where they could be found until 2010. Now, populations mainly exist in Key West National Wildlife Refuge. Scientific articles and efforts to save and reintroduce the Miami Blue Butterfly.
