Uncompahgre fritillary
The Uncompahgre fritillary (Boloria acrocnema) is a species of butterfly in the family Nymphalidae. It is often considered as a subspecies of Boloria improba, the dingy fritillary. It is endemic to the United States. It is the last butterfly to be discovered in North America and was found by one Stanford University student, Larry Gall, and one University of Alberta student, Felix Sperling, working out of the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory. It was thought to be on the edge of extinction, but a number of additional populations have been found and the early monitoring programs that detected small numbers were found to be inadequate. The population is still considered to be endangered.

gollark: As well as the speed issue there are also obvious privacy implications.
gollark: Apparently not!
gollark: Apparently Apple is now making it so that Mac OS Catalina uploads (EDIT: a hash of) *all executables* you run (for the first time on that system) to Apple: https://lapcatsoftware.com/articles/catalina-executables.html
gollark: How are they meant to know when you're dead? You get temporarily reanimated to click a "I agree that I am dead and something something successor" button?
