WHERE ARE THEY FOUND?

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

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.

Role in Ecosystem

The Morpho butterfly’s diet includes rotting fruit, fungi, sap, and even decomposing animals. This diverse diet allows them to play an important role in their ecosystem, aiding in decomposition and nutrient recycling.

Short Lifespan

Despite their beauty, Morpho butterflies have a relatively short lifespan, living only about 115 days from egg to adult. Most of this time is spent in the larval and pupal stages, with the adult butterfly living for about three weeks.
