Blue morphos live in the tropical forests of Latin America from Mexico to Colombia. Adults spend most of their time on the forest floor and in the lower shrubs and trees of the understory with their wings folded. However, when looking for mates, the blue morpho will fly through all layers of the forest. Humans most commonly see morphos in clearings and along streams where their bright blue wings are most visible. Pilots flying over rain forests have even encountered large groups of blue morphos above the treetops, warming themselves in the sun. The blue morpho's entire lifespan lasts only 115 days, which means most of their time is spent eating and reproducing.
