As a large explosion is heard in the distance, a St. Francis Satyr butterfly flies around, ready to lay as many as 100 eggs. At one point, this brown butterfly could be found in only one place: a military base in the American state of North Carolina. An estimated 3,000 St. Francis Satyrs exist. The very small insects are one of the rarest butterfly species in the world. The almost 50-year-old Endangered Species Act protects the St. Francis Satyr, along with about 1,600 other American species. However, recent changes to the law have led some to worry that threatened species in the United States may be at increasing risk.
