The Lower Rio Grande Valley is home to nearly 40 percent of the 700 species of butterflies found in the United States. Now, the UTRGV biology department is hoping to attract as many of those as it can with a new butterfly garden on the Brownsville Campus. Dr. Lucia Carreon Martinez, UTRGV biology lecturer who is spearheading the project, said conservation is vital because butterflies and other pollinators are threatened by habitat loss due to development, pesticide and herbicide use, and are a vital part of the Valley’s ecological balance. Construction on the garden started in February, and volunteers now help maintain the site. (UTRGV Photo by David Pike)
