Morpho peleides is the quintessential Blue Morpho. Its wings are a brilliant, iridescent blue with broad black contrast margins. This intense blue is not a pigment but a structural color caused by the microscopic scales reflecting light, a true wonder of nature. It is one of the most recognized and beloved butterflies in the world.
Habitat
Widespread across Central and South America, particularly common in the humid forests of eastern Peru.
