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

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.

Large Wingspan

The Morpho butterfly has a large wingspan that can range from 5 to 6 inches, making it one of the largest butterflies in the world. Some species, like the Morpho didius, can even reach up to 8 inches.

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.
