Tim Wong, a microbiologist who works at the California Academy of Sciences, single-handedly repopulated an entire species of butterfly in his backyard.

Wong decided to build a greenhouse dedicated to creating a safe haven for California’s pipevine swallowtail butterfly population, which were hovering near the brink of extinction. Thanks to the ideal conditions that he created - the sunlight, cool breeze, favorable temperature fluctuations, and seeding the greenhouse full of California pipevine, the only flower that these insects eat - the previously endangered population is now thriving.

I was looking up the etymology of “caterpillar” and long story short a bunch of languages basically just named them after other animals (ex. cats, dogs, bears). As you would expect, these are all furry critters, which describes fluffy caterpillars quite nicely... except for Portuguese, which names them after lizards.
