Morpho Aurora butterfly in observation frame
IN331
The Morpho Aurora, native to the tropical forests of South America, is a fascinating species of the Nymphalidae family. Although more discreet than its cousin the Morpho menelaus, this butterfly dazzles with its natural iridescence.
During its metamorphosis, the caterpillar develops over a period of several weeks to several months, before becoming an adult butterfly with graceful flight but a short-lived life. The Morpho aurora is a diurnal inhabitant of the canopy, evolving in a world bathed in tropical light.
Presented in an observation frame, this specimen is set against a black background that enhances its subtle nuances, while the magnifying glass built into the side of the frame allows you to explore the fascinating details of its wings, which are covered in thousands of tiny scales. It is this unique structure that produces the iridescent reflections that make this butterfly so captivating.
