Morpho cypris (Westwood, 1851) got its name after Cypris, or Aphrodite, the Ancient Greek goddess of beauty.
Morpho Cypris inhabits South America. It is found in Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Colombia and Ecuador. The wingpsan of this butterfly is about 10-15 cm.
Morpho butterflies have metallic shimmering shades of blue and green on dorsal side of their wings. Such colouration is a result not of pigmentation but of iridescence. So, the colours we see vary with viewing angle, they may change from ligth cyan to deep green from pale pink to dark violet in the same place.
Thus two wings of one Morpho butterfly almost always look different.
This bead butterfly is loomed of 8 colours in 2006.
