Item Description

90-100 mm Wingspan 
8 Inch Hangable Shadowbox Frame
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.

I ordered this coin for my grandson, he loves anything Roman history and was thrilled. I didn’t receive the authentic certificate with it, I contacted the seller and asked if he could send one out to him. He responded right away and is sending it right out. I would recommend to everyone. Very good customer service and arrived early.
