Miami blue - Cyclargus thomasi bethunbakeri (Comstock & Huntington) common name: Miami blue butterfly (Comstock & Huntington) (Insecta: Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae) (Comstock & Huntington), is a small, brightly colored butterfly endemic to Florida; additional subspecies occur in the Bahamas and Hispaniola. The butterfly inhabits tropical hardwood hammocks and their associated margins, beachside scrub and tropical pine rocklands. Once widespread and locally abundant, the Miami blue has been eliminated from much of its former range due to ever-expanding urbanization and the associated loss of coastal habitat. It is now one of Florida's most endangered insects with a single remaining extant population supporting less than 100 individuals.
