AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Splendid Blue Morpho Butterfly - Morpho menelaus in a black wooden frame - Origin: Brazil
Taxidermy (single specimen)
Morpho menelaus (commonly called Blue Morpho)
Family: Nymphalidae
Country of origin: Brazil
Insect dimensions: 9 x 8 cm
Condition: as shown in the photo
Magnificent male specimen of the true Morpho menelaus butterfly, native to the tropical forests of Brazil. This species is famous worldwide for the extraordinary metallic blue and iridescent coloration of its upper wings. The color does not come from pigments, but from the structural refraction of light on the microscopic scales of the wings, creating shifting shades depending on the angle.
The specimen is preserved with wings spread, showing impeccable symmetry and vivid details. It is mounted on a light background and enclosed within a solid entomological frame in black wood with front glass protection.
A collectible piece ideal for Wunderkammer rooms, natural history enthusiasts, or as a curious object of interior design.
The item is shipped carefully packaged with maximum protective care to preserve the integrity of the glass and the specimen during transport.
