peleides blue morpho butterfly

genuine blue morpho butterfly, known for its vibrant iridescent blue wings, carefully preserved to maintain its natural brilliance in a handcrafted wooden double glass frame.

blue morphos are found primarily in the rainforests of central and south america where they are often spotted gliding through the underbrush. despite their vivid color, the blue hue isn't from pigment but from microscopic scales on their wings that reflect light. when in flight, blue morpho's bright blue flashes along with their erratic flight patterns help deter predators. their closed wings reveal a more muted brown underside with eye-like patterns that helps them blend seamlessly into the forest surroundings
