Blue Morpho Didius - 8x6 Riker MountBlue Morpho (Morpho didius) Wingspan: 5 6 1 4 inches Origin: South America The Blue Morpho is a world favorite, often used in art, movies, and video games for both its beauty and symbolism. The blue of the wings is not only iridescent but almost metallic, able to shift from vibrant violet to ultramarine blue to a bright nearly neon blue! As gorgeous and strange as the Blue Morpho already is, it can also vary in even more colors, sizes, and shapes!

there are two red "eyes" on their bottom wings

Pictured above is the male

but both shimmer like sunlit water

The forewings are completely clear

Both are equally stunning

The iridescence of the blue is difficult to capture in photos because of how bright it is

Its colors can vary from green to gold

This beauty has the coolest electric green zebra stripes

creating a fantastic speckled look

creating a more three-dimensional display
