Morpho didius This specimen is a gynandromorph ( Musée d'histoire naturelle de Lille ). The dorsal side of the wings are iridescent and metallic blue, and the forewings are quite elongated.
Iridescent colors of Morpho butterflies are caused by the specific nanostructures on their wings (SEM image at the bottom). [7] Many morpho butterflies are colored in metallic, shimmering shades of blues and greens. These colors are not a result of pigmentation, but are an example of iridescence through structural coloration.
The Morpho Menelaus' characteristic iridescent wings has a unique wing structure. The ground scales are covered by a set of longitudinal ridges, and within the ridges are layers of lamella. [ 12 ] Because the size of the microstructure is the same as the wavelength of light, the layers in the wings react strongly with visible light. [ 2 ]
