Male
Guyana
The Morpho Didius, commonly known as the Giant Blue Morpho, is a captivating species of butterfly belonging to the Nymphalidae family. The defining feature of the Giant Blue Morpho is its stunningly vibrant and iridescent blue wings, which result from microscopic scales reflecting light to create brilliant hues.
These butterflies are native to South America, specifically found in regions such as Brazil, Peru, and Colombia, where they inhabit tropical rainforests, often near water sources. The captivating blue coloration is not only a visual spectacle but also serves a functional purpose in the butterfly's natural habitat.
The lifestyle of the Giant Blue Morpho is primarily diurnal, meaning they are active during the day. Their graceful and fluttering flight patterns are a common sight in the understory of the forest. While the upper side of their wings displays the striking metallic blue color, the undersides are typically brown with eyespots, providing a form of camouflage to deter predators.

All perfect packaging and excellent delivery times. It was a real pleasure
The button arrived upside down in the display case so I had to open it up and fix it before gifting. Other than that everything was great! Neat gift.

The Coin and case is awesome! The only additional thing that could make it perfect would be a little description of what/who the coin faces represent and possibly where the specific coin was found. Otherwise very content
