Morpho Helena, the goddess of light (scientific name: Morpho Helena): is an insect of the order Lepidoptera, the family Morphoidae, and the genus Morpho. The forefeet are rather degenerate, short and clawless. Forewing R veins 5, often shared stalk. Oval hemispherical. The larvae have protrusions on the head, thorns on the somites, and 1 to 3 hooks on the stomach toes. The pupa is the weeping pupa. The wing surface of the male Morpho butterfly has a brilliant metallic luster, and the overall color is purple-blue. The ends of its forewings have dark blue, blue, and light blue changes, which are related to the scales on its wings of various shapes. The scale structure of Morpho butterfly is complex, and the microstructure is composed of multi-layer three-dimensional fences. When light hits the wings, it will produce physical phenomena such as refraction, reflection and diffraction. The underside of the wings has rows of eye-like markings.

Live in the tropical rain forests of northern South America. The life cycle includes four stages: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. The larvae generally live in clusters. Mainly feed on legumes. Distributed in the Amazon River Basin in Peru. It is the national butterfly of Peru.

Morphological characteristics

The Morpho butterfly, the goddess of light, is large and gorgeous, with a wingspan of 75 to 100 mm. It is bisexual. The male butterfly has a shiny metallic blue luster, greenish-white luster, and orange-brown luster. The antennae are slender, about a third of the length of the forewings. The abdomen is short, the underside of the wings is brown, there are stripes and rows of eye spots, but the eyes are glabrous, the males have hairs on the tarsus of the front feet, and the hind wings are open in the middle chamber. The reason for the flash of Morpho butterflies is that the wings of the butterfly are densely covered with scales containing a variety of pigment particles. The denser the fine color ridges on the scales, the stronger the flash. The scales of the Morpho butterfly are more complex in structure. When light hits the wings, physical phenomena such as refraction, reflection and diffraction will occur, resulting in rainbow-like brilliant colors under the action of optics.

This species is a beautiful and dreamy butterfly. The entire wing surface is like white waves rising on the blue sea. Its color and pattern are very spectacular, and it is known as the most beautiful butterfly in the world. The whole body is purple-blue, and the blue at both ends of its front wings is constantly changing from dark blue, azure blue, and light blue. The entire wing surface is like a blue sky inlaid with a string of bright halos. Hence the term "Goddess".

habitat

Inhabited by tropical rain forests in the Neotropics, such as the Amazon primeval forest, it is also adapted to dry deciduous forests and secondary woodlands such as South America.

living habits

Active during the day, flying fast and agile. Males are territorial, and the metallic sheen reflected from their wings indicates their territorial range to other males. Like other lepidopteran insects, they are also completely metamorphosed. The life cycle includes four stages: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. Their eggs are chrysalis-shaped, and the larvae have distinctly colored "hair clusters" and usually have a caudal fork, resembling the larvae of an eye butterfly. The larvae generally live in clusters and feed on various climbing plants, especially legumes. If they are in danger, they will emit a pungent odor from the glands in their bodies to drive away predators.

There are various protrusions on the head and wings of the pupa, which belong to the pupa. The hosts are mostly Viola, Honeysuckle, Salicaceae, Moraceae, Umaceae, Hemp, Euphorbiaceae, Rubiaceae and other plants. Adults are not easy to visit flowers, and often feed on sap such as fallen rotten fruit and feces.

distribution range

Produced in Brazil, Peru, Colombia and other countries, living in the Peruvian Amazon in South America. The number is very small, the reproductive capacity is weak, and it is very precious.

Reproduction

Morpho butterflies are completely metamorphic insects, that is, they go through four stages in their life: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. Its life cycle includes four stages: egg, larva, pupa and adult.

egg

Morpho eggs are generally hemispherical, with a waxy shell on the surface to prevent water evaporation, and a fine hole at one end, which is the pathway for sperm to enter. The adults lay their eggs on their host plants or shoots, the plants that the Morpho larvae feed on, preparing the larvae for a suitable growth site.

larva

Morpho butterfly larvae are caterpillars. After hatching, they eat a lot of plant leaves. As the larvae grow, they usually molt 4 to 6 times.

pupa

Morpho larvae stop eating when fully grown and crawl around looking for a suitable place to pupate. The pupa of Morphoidae butterflies is suspended from the head and the tail, called the hanging pupa; they stretch their bodies to measure whether the space around them is enough for the broken pupa to spread its wings smoothly when it emerges. When it finds a place to pupate, the morpho butterfly spins silk there, attaching the end of its body to the silk, and the morpho larvae will pupate in a hidden place on the back of the leaf, and then gradually harden to become a prepupa. About a day later, the former pupae shed the larval outer skin, revealing the chrysalis. The larvae's utensils in the pupa gradually decompose and then reconstitute the Morpho butterfly's body.

adult worm

After the adult of Morpho butterfly matures, it burrows out of the pupa along the head and chest. The wings of the newly emerged butterfly are folded and the abdomen is expanded. At this time, the butterfly cannot avoid natural enemies. After the wings are unfolded, the Morpho butterfly can fly. , Morpho butterfly's fore and hind wings are not synchronously flapping, and adults feed on the juice of rotting fruit.

Subspecies differentiation

Once a subspecies of Morpho rhetenor, now a separate species
