14) Qhino checkerspot, Euphydryas editha quino
The qhino checkerspot butterfly can be found in Mexico and California (Zolfagharifard, Ellie). These creatures are able to survive in the climate and temperatures that have been present since this species was created, but now they are having a harder time. They are struggling to survive because of the climate change. The climate change has increased temperatures to the point that these butterflies could go extinct if they do not learn to adapt (Zolfagharifard, Ellie). They have adapted by moving to higher altitudes which are home to cooler temperatures and more moist environments (Zolfagharifard, Ellie). By learning to adapt the butterflies will be able to survive and pass on the genes and lessons learned on to their progeny so they have the best chance of survival.
