To flit from cache to cache, as only a blue morpho butterfly can do.
Native to the rainforests of Mexico, Central America and South America, this bright blue butterfly has a short but stunning life.
Their vivid, iridescent blue coloring is a result of the microscopic scales on the backs of their wings, which reflect light. The underside of the morpho's wings, on the other hand, is a dull brown color with many eyespots, providing camouflage against predators such as birds and insects when its wings are closed.
The average lifespan of the blue morpho butterfly is 115 days. Blue morphos, like many other kinds of insects, go through 4 main stages during their life: egg, larva (caterpillar), pupa (chrysalis) and imago (adult).
