What is morpho aurora butterfly?

The Morpho aurora butterfly is a species of blue morpho butterfly found in South America, particularly in Brazil, Peru, and Ecuador. The butterfly typically has a wingspan of 10-13 cm, and is known for its striking iridescent blue coloration on the upper surface of its wings, with a band of brown and white on the edges.

The Morpho aurora butterfly is found in habitat such as tropical rainforests, and is known to be a swift flier, darting rapidly through the forest canopy. The butterfly feeds on rotting fruit, tree sap, and occasionally, nectar from flowers.

The species is considered to be of low conservation concern, and its populations appear to be stable. However, as with many butterfly species, habitat destruction due to deforestation and climate change could pose a threat to its numbers in the future.
