9/07/2024 Peck Butterfly House 2024 | Menelaus Blue Morpho HeadPeck Butterfly House 2024 | a 7 Image Story  The Peck Butterfly House had the largest array of butterflies I’ve seen in several years.

Menelaus Blue Morpho Head  Blue Morphos are known for their brilliant blue wings and are a symbol of life in the Central and South American rain forests.   Papilio Memnon the Great  The Great Mormon comes in a number of forms with definite differences between males and females. With its large wings, it lives in a several environments from forest edges to open landscapes.   Menelaus Blue Morpho  Instead of pigments like other butterflies, the Blue Morpho’s wing color comes from microscopic wing scales that reflect light.   Zebra Longwing  This butterfly’s zebra coat appearance with its bold wing coloring warns predators of their toxicity, which helps it survive longer than many other butterflies.
