Luminescent colors you will not believe! As you look at the Morpho from different angles, the color shifts from blue to deep violet. Larger than most, this Peruvian butterfly is about 6 inches wide and 5 inches tall, in an 8" by 8" frame. Both males and females are a deep metallic-blue, but females have 1/2 inch black borders at the edge of their wings. The undersides are brown with a row of brown-ringed, orange eyespots outlined with a pale, metallic-bronze. The caterpillar is reddish-brown with patches of lime-green. Morphos fly rapidly through dense forest, but the males actually chase each other and will even chase a blue cloth waived in the air. $83.00 BugInABox.com searches the world for the finest in rare butterflies, beetles, and interesting insects, so you can enjoy them up close and personal.
