Morfo Butterfly
The Morpho butterfly is a striking insect known for its vibrant blue wings, which can span up to 5 to 6 inches. Found primarily in the tropical forests of Central and South America, these butterflies are famous for their iridescent coloration, which is created by microscopic scales on their wings that reflect light.
Morpho butterflies are primarily herbivorous, feeding on the leaves of various plants during their larval stage. As adults, they are attracted to nectar from flowers. Their bright colors serve as a warning to predators about their potential toxicity, helping them survive in their natural habitat.
