Males of this species exhibit striking sexual dimorphism with their upper wings showing iridescent blue or purplish hues bordered with dark brown or black, especially on the forewings. The hindwings are often scalloped, contributing to the \"leafwing\" appearance when the butterfly is at rest. The underside of the wings is cryptically colored in browns and grays, closely resembling a dead leaf, which provides excellent camouflage from predators.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMemphis forreri is primarily distributed in parts of Central America, with its range extending from Mexico through countries like Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica, and sometimes into northern South America. It typically inhabits tropical and subtropical forests, where it prefers the lower and mid-canopy levels. The species is known for its elusive behavior, often remaining still with wings closed when disturbed, blending seamlessly with the forest floor or foliage due to its mimicry.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWe firmly support the sustainable tropical butterfly collections as long as they take care of the conservation of the rainforest where they fly and the development of responsible conscious trading.\nThis allows us to support local ranching farms with ethically sourced material and help at the same time collectors and enthusiasts to contribute to understanding and treasuring those species.\nPlease take into consideration that the specimen that you will receive may slightly differ in size, shape or colour from the picture shown as you are purchasing a natural product.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePlease note: In our selection of white frames, the inner box frame—the part that creates the depth of the shadow box—is currently only available in black, as white versions are not available at this time.
