Throughout the years, butterflies were widely populated in North America ,but over the last 50 years more than 95% of the population has decreased. One of the common factors of the decline of the population is because of farming and poaching. In order to protect these butterflies, there are three possible solutions to preventing these actions are restricting of butterfly areas, serving time in jail, and organizations to prevent poaching and farming.

Can butterflies overthrow a dictator and change the society? The Mirabal sisters , Dede, Minerva, Patria, and Mate, were known as the butterflies.

The symbolized inferior butterfly has been killed by a more superior human. Killing a butterfly doesn’t usually come to people as a huge occurrence but this really is a small event turned major because it alters the future timeline. The theme of this story is a metaphor on society because in the post-world war era this was an important message, one action from a high ranking official, or even a small person doing a dangerous deed could most definitely cause panic and have far greater impact on society, just as the two World Wars did.

To emphasize the butterflies are mentioned six times throughout the whole book. The first time they are mentioned even though they were in war it was actually a beautiful place, “ravines and gorges and fast moving rivers and waterfalls and exotic butterflies and steep cliffs.” I believe he was saying even in all this warfare it is still a beautiful place. The second time it was mentioned is the the chapter “The Man I Killed” where it lands on his chin “there was a butterfly on his chin.” I visualize that this could have two meanings one is

"For each of us, as for the robin in Michigan or the Salmon in the Miramachi, this is a problem of ecology, or interrelationships, of interdependence. We poison the caddis flies
The long term goal is to remove it from the federal list of endangered and threatened wildlife and plants. The reclassification criteria will be met when a minimum of 27 metapopulations are established within at least 13 recovery units across the butterflies’ range. The minimum requirement of 27 metapopulations can be comprised of 19 viable normal, and 8 viable large metapopulations. The large metapopulations support 6,000 individuals and the normal size metapopulations support 3,000 individuals. Total delisting of the species would be considered once a minimum of 29 metapopulations (13 viable and 16 large viable metapopulations) have been established within at least 13 recovery units and are being managed consistent with the recovery plan. Actions needed to fulfil this recovery plan are listed as
This passage helps to characterize Ovid Byron as a scientist. For example, when he says “since God set them loose here, as you say,” he develops a scientific stance on the subject by pointing out that they believe God put these insects here and that he stands apart from their beliefs and believes that the butterflies were a cause of evolution. Ovid’s scientific status helps the reader throughout the rest of the novel to better understand the monarchs. Until this point Dellarobia didn’t know that the monarchs were in danger. The reader can infer from this passage, based on information gathered previously in the novel, that the monarchs had to adapt to living on the Turnbows farm because of the floods in Mexico. The butterflies help develop a central theme of adapting to survive, however as the reader progresses in the novel they learn that the monarchs are actually dying regardless of their attempt to adjust to the change. The butterflies reflect on Dellarobias character, causing the reader to notice the similarities between the butterflies and her.
