Morpho theseus schweitzeri (female)
Posted: Tue Jul 19, 2022 12:04 am
When it comes to Morpho butterflies it is the females
that are a far sight more difficult to obtain. Basically,
their habits are diffrent making them far more elusive
to capture (by anyone); thus when specimens go to
market there is much competition for the far fewer
females that show up.
Multiply this factor (x) a species generally uncommon
in the market and you've got one special and expensive
"princess" to think about if morpho are your thing.
So, for your viewing pleasure I present you with a
(female) example of Morpho theseus schweitzeri of
southern Mexico (Veracruz).
