Morpho menelaus didius (Peru)

Perfect as always

A surreally large, solid metallic blue, butterfly; I'm still in owe.

I've seen large butterflies. Usually, the larger ones are moths. This one is an exception. I've seen the real thing in person, received from this website/company insect designs. It was a surreal experience for me. It was my first time seeing such a huge butterfly with such perfect and solid metallic blue. I'm still in owe. I'm also glad that mine, and the batch, are not from the wild. They are likely hatched, fed and cultivated in a butterflies farm. The result is that the wings are perfect! Because of its size, I let it soften for 2 weeks. The result was perfect. The wings were extremely flexible,. I was able to successfully spread the butterfly on a plus sized board, without any difficulty. I am only evaluating the ones that I have processed at this time. The ones that I haven't processed will be evaluated later.
