Morpho helenor pupae

Morpho helenor pupae, the blue Morpho.

Morpho helenor, also known as the Blue Morpho, is an iconic butterfly species, appreciated for its large size and bright blue color.

Morpho blue pupae are an essential choice for butterfly houses, tropical greenhouses, zoos, entomological museums, and educational exhibitions. The Morpho blue butterfly is one of the most recognizable and admired lepidopteran species worldwide, thanks to its bright, iridescent blue coloration and its elegant, majestic flight, which immediately captures visitors’ attention. Including Morpho blue butterflies in a tropical enclosure or live butterfly exhibition ensures an exceptional visual impact, making them a key species for the success of any live butterfly display. For this reason, Morpho blue butterflies are considered a cornerstone species in professional butterfly houses.
From a breeding perspective, this species is valued for its relatively long adult lifespan, averaging around one month, and for its ability to mate easily even in medium-sized environments. Morpho blue pupae are therefore ideal for both temporary exhibitions and long-term breeding and reproduction projects.

Adults of Morpho helenor feed on fruits and sugary solutions, they display a beautiful flight and can pair in large spaces. Caterpillars can be reared on members of the Leguminosae.
