Erynnis baptisiae, the wild indigo duskywing, is a species of butterfly of the family Hesperiidae. It is found in North America from southern Ontario and New England, west to central Nebraska, and south to Georgia, the Gulf Coast, and south-central Texas. Host plants include wild indigo, wild blue indigo, lupine, false lupine, and crown vetch. [2]
The species is considered a rare species in the US state of West Virginia and in the Canadian provinces of Manitoba and Ontario, but is considered an invasive plant in some areas of the northeastern and northwestern United States and in southeastern Canada, beyond its native range, and has also been introduced into Europe.

The demand for indigo in the 19th century is indicated by the fact that in 1897, 7,000 km 2 (2,700 sq mi) were dedicated to the cultivation of indican-producing plants, mainly in India. By comparison, the country of Luxembourg is 2,586 km 2 (998 sq mi). [1] In Europe, indigo remained a rare commodity throughout the Middle Ages.
