🦋 Blue Morpho—Morpho peleides 🦋

📍Monteverde Butterfly Garden, Monteverde, Costa Rica

A larva crawled up onto my pants while I was attempting to sketch one of the Morpho butterflies! Don’t worry, they were safely relocated. 🌿🐛

Captive-bred Morpho peleides from a butterfly house I visited, I think the older ones with tattered/frayed wings and lost scales look really cool. There were way more of them that looked like this than not in the aviary, it really doesn't take long for a mature lepidopteran to start looking like this- if someone selling lep specimens tells you their A1 specimens lived out their full lifespan and passed of age-related/"natural" causes, it's a typical and blatant lie

Morpho Peleides, with iridescent blue wings and black edges. It’s shimmering blue colour is not a chemical pigment; it is produced by the way the light reflects off the millions of tiny scales on its wings.

Idk about y'all but Viktor wanting things Jayce could not provide ruined me
