Blue Morpho Butterflies Face Many Threats
Unfortunately, Blue Morphos face many potential predators and threats in their rainforest home. Whilst not directly endangered, like many Amazon species they are threatened by deforestation and habitat fragmentation. Their beauty also makes them a target for those wanting to capture them for artistic or collection purposes, and even to make jewelry out of their wings. Conservation of the Blue Morpho butterfly is ongoing in North American butterfly houses, but to see this stunning creature in its natural environment, there’s no better place than the Amazon!
