  • Giant Blue Morpho butterflies can be found in the tropical forests of South America, and with wingspans reaching up to 15 cm, they are one of the largest Morpho species. The dorsal side of the wings are a vivid, iridescent blue due to microscopic scales that reflect light. The underside of the wings are a muted brown with lots of eyespots, which provide camouflage from predators while the insect is at rest. When the butterfly flies, the wings flash blue and dull brown, the contrasting colours give the appearance of the butterfly disappearing and reappearing, which confuses birds and other predators. 

  • This Giant Blue Morpho (Morpho didius) has been hand set by our expert entomologists in our studio and elegantly mounted in a museum quality deep box frame.

    Frame: Satin finished acrylic

    Mount: 300 GSM acid free card stock with a 2 mm bevelled edge matboard border

    Display: Self standing frame or wall hanging bracket

    Dimensions: 26 x 26 x 6cm

    The picture shown is an example of the quality that you can expect to receive. Please be aware that, as these are natural products, they are subject to some variation. While no two insects are exactly alike, each of the specimens in our collection fall within the morphological perimeters for their species.

  • All of the insects in our collection are responsibly and ethically sourced through sustainable insect farming and commercial breeding.

    This approach helps native communities generate a sustainable and equitable income, while providing an economic incentive to protect endangered habitats rather than environmentally destructive practices such as deforestation for logging and agriculture.

  • We are working hard to be a carbon neutral brand, by investing in planting trees to offset our carbon emissions and continuing to operate responsibly. We also package all of our products using 100% recyclable or reusable materials to reduce our environmental impact.

    Both ourselves and our suppliers use recycled material through as much of the design & production process as possible. All of our card mounts and solid oak stands are FSC certified, meaning that the trees used are harvested responsibly and replaced to ensure no net loss of forest.

  • Each Curated piece comes with a loyalty sticker. Receive a free gift reward for every third item purchased, culminating in a captivating platinum statement piece, complimentary from Curated.
