4 MORPHO AURORA butterflies

These four MORPHO AURORA butterflies are known for their pale bluish tones, with subtle silvery iridescence. Unlike most MORPHO species typically found in lowland tropical forests, MORPHO AURORA is an Andean species, native to the mid-altitude cloud forests of Peru.
Its unique shimmering effect comes not from pigment, but from microscopic structures on the wing scales that diffract light. This gives the butterflies a ghostlike appearance that makes them especially sought after by collectors.
The composition is displayed under a bubble-shaped dome designed exclusively by Objet de Curiosité. A refined and contemporary interpretation of the naturalist display.
