SPECIES Morpho portis + Graphium weiskei + Salamis parhassus
ORIGIN Indonesia / Peru / Africa
FRAME 20x 20xD5cm. Made from recycled products.
DESCRIPTION Morpho portis is a charming little blue morpho.
AKA Purple Spotted Swallowtail. This small graphium is one of only two butterflies we have with a shade of purple, hence it is one of our most popular frames. The unique colouring of mauve changes to pink under certain lighting and accompanied by subtle shades of blues and greens make this butterfly a must for any collector. Though it was Carl Ribbe who first described this butterfly, the name derives from the one who collected the first sample, the German naturalist Emil Weiske.
AKA Forest Mother-of-Pearl. Known for its unusual greenish white pearlescent colouring this large Nymphalid is one of four which comprise the genus Protogoniomorpha. The colours change depending on angle to pearlescent white/green with tinges of pink and purple.
