The Common Morpho is a beautiful butterfly known for its bright blue wings. It flutters around tropical forests and is a favorite among butterfly watchers!
生息地: Tropical forests
The Common Morpho has brilliant iridescent blue wings with dark brown or black edges. Its vibrant color is not from pigment but microscopic scales, making it shimmer and appear to change hue in different light. The underside of its wings is a drab brown, often with eyespots, providing excellent camouflage when resting.
