The upper side of its wings features a captivating purple-blue sheen, with a silvery hue in certain lighting, bordered by black margins. The underside of the wings is brown with eye spots, providing excellent camouflage when the butterfly is at rest. With a wingspan reaching up to 15 centimetres, it is a majestic sight.\nThis butterfly is primarily found in the tropical rainforests of South America, including countries like Brazil and Ecuador.\nThe name \"Theseus\" is derived from the Greek mythological hero, symbolizing the butterfly's beauty and strength. The subspecies name \"schweitzeri\" honours a prominent figure in entomology.\nA fascinating fact about the Purple Morpho is its unique wing structure, which reflects light to create its vibrant color, a phenomenon known as structural colouration rather than pigmentation.\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.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePlease 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.
