The week’s trivia question was is the El Segundo Blue Butterfly endangered? What other endangered animals are associated with Los Angeles? The answer is yes. The species was listed in 1976 and is suffering from habitat destruction and because of invasive exotic plants. The answer was found in Beacham's Guide to the Endangered Species of North America, a LAPL database. The same database can be used to answer the secondary question, use it to search for Los Angeles to get a listing of other entries.
