The Fender's blue butterfly primarily faces threats from various predators, including birds, Spiders, and other insects. Habitat loss and fragmentation also increase vulnerability to predation by limiting available shelter and food sources. Additionally, the butterfly's reliance on specific host plants for larvae can make them more susceptible to predation when these plants are scarce or degraded. Conservation efforts aim to protect both the butterfly and its habitat to reduce these predation risks.
