Wright, Executive Director of the National Butterfly Center. Zoom link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87269323860 - link is also on our Austin Butterfly Forum website. The National Butterfly Center is leading the charge to learn more about Manfreda maculosa (Texas Tuberose) and the critically imperiled butterfly that needs it to survive. Citizen scientists are needed to help with the first phase of this conservation project, upon which we hope to build a comeback for this rare, native host plant and its "ghost," the Manfreda Giant-Skipper. The National Butterfly Center is seeking landowners and volunteers to participate in a Manfreda conservation survey. The purpose of this survey is to locate, observe and identify Manfreda species in South Texas. This flowering succulent is native to the Tamaulipan Thorn-scrub (roughly Del Rio to San Antonio to Corpus Christi south to ne Mexico) Manfreda is significant to us because it is the only known host plant for the *Manfreda Giant-Skipper*, a G1, Globally Critically Imperiled, butterfly species. Since most of South Texas is private property, the participation of landowners is especially important to the success of this survey. We are seeking participants in the following counties: Aransas, Bee, Bexar, Brooks, Cameron, Hidalgo, Jim Hogg, Jim Wells, Karnes, Kenedy, Kinney, Kleberg, Medina, Nueces, San Patricio, Starr, Uvalde, Webb, Willacy, Wilson and Zapata. Volunteers can sign up here: https://www.nationalbutterflycenter.org/join-national-butterfly-center/manfreda-survey Marianna T. Wright is a passionate advocate for Texas' natural treasures. As executive director of the National Butterfly Center, she is leading the charge to protect and preserve the creatures and features that make South Texas so special.
