Butterfly vs IBWO

From this link:
Rep. John Paul Wells, a Paris Democrat and a co-sponsor of the bill, said the [Diana Fritillary] butterfly is unique. But he contrasted it with the ivory-billed woodpecker, when asked by legislators just how rare the butterfly is.

Wells said, "The difference between this and the ivory-billed woodpecker is we've actually seen these."

There is a bill being introduced that designates the Ivory-bill as Arkansas' "Official Pretend Bird," however.

Man, that's harsh.
