This tiny caterpillar is the last known of its kind.

Scientists hope to breed the critically endangered Sacramento Mountains checkerspot by finding and capturing another individual from the wild — if any are left.
The Race to Save the Sacramento Mountains Checkerspot Butterfly
The Sacramento Mountains checkerspot butterfly is critically endangered, with the last known larva living in a lab in New Mexico.

The last known caterpillar that could have become a Sacramento Mountains checkerspot butterfly has died.

The term for an animal that is the sole survivor of a species is endling. In a sense, we are all endlings—each the last of our kind. All life is precious, irreplaceable.
