ABOUT THE BUTTERFLIES

The morpho butterfly is a rainforest species, dwelling in the canopy of the jungle and rarely coming near the ground. Adult males display an iridescent blue color on the upper wing surface. The female is less vivid than the male.The slow pace of their wings while flying causes the iridescent blue to flash and then disappears, as the wings are raised only to return in another place in a short while. This causes predators to loose track of the Morpho when it is flying as they only glimpse blue flashes as the brown underside makes them invisible in the thick foliage of the jungle.
