Pearl Morpho Butterfly - Morpho sulkowski

THE SCIENCE:

Morpho sulkowski is a species of butterfly found in the canopies of the Andean cloud forests in South America, particularly those spanning Columbia, Ecuador, and Peru. They’re well-known for their pearly wings which, save for the darker distal wing tips, fluoresce a varied shade of blue-violet when irradiated and viewed from certain angles. In addition to being quite gorgeous, this coloration also serves as exceptional camouflage against the clouds and sky of their native habitat.

THE STORY:

The Pearl Morpho’s wings are truly a sight to behold, especially underneath direct light. It absolutely needs to be seen in person- and owned! Even in more dimly-lit areas where the specimen’s wings won’t necessarily fluoresce, this framed butterfly remains a beautiful compliment to any space. Our all-natural, intact specimens (no fake parts here!) are all of first-rate quality, delicately prepared, mounted, and framed with double-glass glazing in our very own fabrication studio in Upstate New York. We model our frames from solid fine ashwood, and they’re available in both a matte-black, and a natural finish.

Our framed insects are made-to-order. Please allow up to two weeks for your order to be completed. If you need your order sooner than this, please contact us at 212-343-1114 x401 or fabrication@theevolutionstore.com and we will do our best to accommodate you!
