California Dogface Butterfly on Blue Verbena
The California dogface butterfly (Zerene eurydice) is the official state insect of California, named for the distinctive silhouette of a dog’s head visible on the wings of the males. This rare butterfly is found almost exclusively in California, where it inhabits open woodlands, chaparral, and river valleys. Its vibrant yellow wings with subtle purple edging make it a treasure of the region, and a reminder of the fragile beauty found close to home.
Blue verbena (Verbena hastata), also known as blue vervain, is a tall wildflower native to North America. Its clusters of vivid blue-purple blooms attract a wide variety of pollinators, including butterflies like the dogface. Often found in meadows, prairies, and near streams, blue verbena adds a splash of color to natural landscapes, standing as a symbol of growth and resilience.
