Morpho butterflies have adapted to the rainforest by developing iridescent wings that help them blend in with the sunlight filtering through the canopy, making them difficult to spot by predators. Their strong flying abilities allow them to navigate through the dense forest and escape threats. Additionally, their caterpillars feed on specific plant species found in the rainforest, showing a co-evolutionary adaptation to their environment.

The trees and shrubs will die and the water will dry up. The organisms that live there (animals, plants, bacteria, fungi) will have to adapt to less water. If they don't adapt, they will die out. And the organisms that adapt will have different characteristics than the organisms that did not adapt and live in different regions.
