Insect specimens are wonderful to work with and their beauty can last for many years. Please note that as this is a natural product, there can be some variation between each specimen, especially in size. Please read the description below carefully for more information about the specimen being offered. This specimen will be shipped dried with its wings closed together. Please read our illustrated instructions showing the method we use to hydrate and set our specimens. Please note that Morpho butterflies normally have their abdomens removed when they are collected as the oils leak out and stain the wings black. They still set perfectly well without an abdomen. Specimen Details Origin: Peru Sex: M Quality: A1 Size: 100mm (wingspan) Specimen Care If you are not setting the specimen straight away, it can be safely kept in a sealed container away from moisture and insect pests. If you suspect something may be eating it, freeze the specimen for a few days. This will not damage the specimen. If it is exposed to moisture and develops mould, this can be cleaned up easily with acetone if caught early. If you have any questions please view our various help pages or contact us. We will be happy to assist.
