Say hello to the large blue butterfly. This butterfly has had its genome sequenced by the Wellcome Sanger Institute. It went extinct in the UK in 1979 due to habitat loss, was reintroduced and now is thriving w/ careful management thanks to experts. 🦋 Insect Week #InsectWeek Royal Entomological Society
