These two pictures are Parkson's advertisements in the Beijing Evening News, which illustrate that butterflies have penetrated into all aspects of people's daily lives. Did you know that the butterfly in the picture is? Maybe you don't know it, because this kind of butterfly is not distributed in my country, it is called Morpho butterfly.
The scientific name of Morphoidae comes from the Greek word "Morph", which is the name of Venus, the goddess of beauty, which means beauty and beauty. This is perfect for the small family of Morpho butterflies. In any museum or butterfly exhibit, the stunning blue color of most morpho butterflies is the first thing that catches the viewer's eye. More than 80 species have been recorded in this family, only distributed in South America. The smallest Morpho butterfly has a wingspan of only 75 mm, while the largest has a wingspan of over 200 mm. Their large wings allow them to soar quickly through the sky.
Not all Morpho butterflies have a metallic blue sheen, and some are limited to male butterflies. All species, whether blue, greenish white, or brown, have more or less rows of eye spots on the reverse side of the wings.
The eggs are hemispherical. The larvae have conspicuous colorful "tufts" and often have a tail fork, similar to the larvae of the family Ophiridae. Larvae generally live in groups and feed on various climbing plants, especially leguminous plants. The head and wings of the pupa have various protrusions, which are called pupae.
