Butterfly Vengeance

Plebejus samuelis

We all saw this day coming, the rise of the butterflies, the day they will take vengeance on us.  No longer will they passively fly around their habitats as they are bulldozed for malls and polluted with runoff.   One particularly angry Karner Blue has submitted a letter to the Onion warning us that our time is about up.  Endangered little Lycaenidae will join hands and come after us some quiet night while we’re asleep in our beds.  We at the Lepidopterists’ Society have even made their list for failing to take action.  Together we should act before it is too late – let us preemptively strike before the rise of the blues.  Save your families!  Burn those styrofoam containers, pave the prairies, drive your off-road vehicles and take a stand against these fluttering fanatics!

(or we could just save them…)
