The Menelaus Blue Morpho (Morpho menelaus) is one of the most iconic butterflies in the world, known for its brilliant, shimmering blue upper wings bordered in black. The underside is brown with large eye spots, providing excellent camouflage when at rest.
Native to Central and South America, Morpho menelaus is found in tropical rainforests, often flying along forest edges, rivers, and open clearings.
Interesting Fact:
The vivid blue coloration is created by microscopic wing structures that reflect light rather than pigments, producing an intense iridescent effect visible from long distances.
This specimen is preserved, fully spread and professionally mounted in a clear PE display frame, making it ready for immediate display. Collection data is included.
All specimens are ethically sourced, collected responsibly with a focus on sustainability and minimal impact on wild populations.
