HABITAT

The Morpho butterfly lives in the tropical rainforests of Central and South America, including countries like Brazil, Peru, and Costa Rica. These butterflies thrive in humid environments near rivers and streams, often seen fluttering in forest clearings where sunlight penetrates the canopy.

Species Facts

Metamorphosis

Like all butterflies, Morpho butterflies undergo complete metamorphosis, transitioning from egg to larva (caterpillar), then to pupa (chrysalis), and finally to adult. The chrysalis stage is particularly fascinating as it often has a metallic, golden appearance.

Navigational Skills

Morphos have impressive navigational skills. They can remember landmarks and routes in their dense rainforest habitats, aiding in their search for food and mates.

Iridescent Blue Wings

The most striking feature of the Morpho butterfly is its brilliant blue wings, which are not due to pigment but rather to the microscopic scales that reflect light. This iridescence makes the wings appear as if they are glowing and can be seen from a distance, acting as a warning to predators.
