Double Glass Framed Morpho Rhetenor Helena Butterfly

There are over 80 species of blue morpho butterflies mostly found in South America as well as Mexico and Central America. This Blue Morpho is one of the most beautiful and highly prized morphos in the world. Unlike most blue morphos this rare species has white patches on the wings. Morpho rhetenor is sexually dimorphic. The female is bigger than the bright blue male and has a dark-brown upper side with a lighter brown outer edge. There is a central yellow area tapering into a triangle and isolated patches as it crosses the forewings and a separate chain of yellow spots crosses the forewings and hindwings. The one pictured below is a female. They are truly gorgeous to gaze upon and make for a stunning center piece of any butterfly collection.  The Morphos are Neotropical butterflies found mostly in South America, this species was sourced from Peru. This male rhetenor helenor has a brilliant iridescent blue colouring highlighted with a white band.
