Q1. What is the primary reason that Fender's blue butterflies are endangered? The recent increase in fire frequency and severity has greatly reduced habitat quality. The butterfly's primary host plant, Kincaid's lupine, became extinct in the 1930s. Increases in disease prevalence and predation have diminished their numbers. Urbanization and agriculture have reduced and fragmented the butterfly's preferred habitat. : 0.00 Submit
