It is a member of the Morpho genus, which includes several other species of large, iridescent butterflies found in Central and South America. The White Morpho's scientific name is Morpho polyphemus.\u003cbr\u003eKey features of the White Morpho include:\nWhite Wings: As the name suggests, the most prominent feature of the White Morpho is its brilliant white wings. These wings are large and have a unique, shimmering quality when they catch the light.\nIridescent Blue Borders: While the majority of the wings are white, the edges are adorned with a narrow border of iridescent blue or turquoise, which adds to their visual appeal.\nSize: White Morpho butterflies are relatively large, with wingspans that can reach up to 15 centimetres (6 inches) or more, making them one of the larger butterfly species in their range.\nHabitat: White Morphos are typically found in tropical rainforests and other wooded habitats in Central and South America, including countries like Mexico, Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. They tend to stay in lowland areas but can occasionally be found at higher elevations.\nBehaviour: White Morpho butterflies are known for their swift and graceful flight. They often fly high in the forest canopy and are more commonly seen in flight than at rest.\nFeeding: Like most butterflies, White Morphos feed on the nectar of flowers. They are attracted to a variety of flowering plants, and their feeding behaviour also contributes to pollination in their habitats.\nPredation: While the dazzling appearance of White Morphos might make them seem invulnerable, they are still susceptible to predation by birds, spiders, and other insects. Their reflective wings can serve as a form of defence by confusing and startling potential predators.\nWhite Morpho butterflies are not only beautiful but also important components of the ecosystems they inhabit, playing a role in pollination and contributing to the overall biodiversity of their tropical rainforest habitats. Their striking appearance has also made them a popular subject for photography and butterfly enthusiasts.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWe firmly support the sustainable tropical butterfly collections as long as they take care of conserving the rainforest where they fly and developing 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 consider that the specimen you will receive may slightly differ in size, shape or colour from the picture shown as you are purchasing a natural product.","brand":"The Insectrum Company","offers":[{"title":"BLACK FRAME \/ BLACK WITH NAME TAG","offer_id":58225526997256,"sku":"Morphopolyphemus","price":43.77,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"BLACK FRAME \/ WHITE WITH NAME TAG","offer_id":58225527685384,"sku":"Morphopolyphemus","price":43.77,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"BLACK FRAME \/ BLACK NO NAME TAG","offer_id":58225527718152,"sku":"Morphopolyphemus","price":43.77,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"BLACK FRAME \/ WHITE NO NAME TAG","offer_id":58225527750920,"sku":"Morphopolyphemus","price":43.77,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"WHITE FRAME \/ BLACK WITH NAME TAG","offer_id":58225527783688,"sku":"Morphopolyphemus","price":43.77,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"WHITE FRAME \/ WHITE WITH NAME TAG","offer_id":58225527816456,"sku":"Morphopolyphemus","price":43.77,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"WHITE FRAME \/ BLACK NO NAME TAG","offer_id":58225527849224,"sku":"Morphopolyphemus","price":43.77,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"WHITE FRAME \/ WHITE NO NAME TAG","offer_id":58225527881992,"sku":"Morphopolyphemus","price":43.77,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1005\/4408\/6280\/files\/6a55360fab3cb5b4a28bb9f1.png?v=1783972547","url":"https:\/\/insectrumcompany.com\/products\/framed-white-morpho-butterfly-oaxaca-mexico-8-x-8","provider":"The Insectrum Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
