This stunning Morpho helena dome measures 20cm tall. It is presented in a minimalistic way due to the overwhelming beauty of this incredible butterfly. I have carefull hand selected a variety of dried roses to place at the base of the butterfly with some gypsophila, so not to take away too much from the butterfly, whilst adding an elegance to the piece. #jennascuriocabinet #morpho #bluemorpho #morphohelena #insectsoftheworld #curiocabinet #taxidermyforsale #itwasdeadwhenwemet #deliciousdarkdecor #pinnedinsects #lepidoptera (at Jenna's Curio Cabinet) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdtJOs9qTCy/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This beautiful Blue Morpho (Morpho peleides) Butterfly enamel pin is asymmetrical because it is depicting a “gynandromorph”, exhibiting both male and female characteristics (intersex). The darker aquamarine blue with larger red spots is female, and the lighter turquoise side is male. The elegant lines and borders of the wings in this design is plated in black nickel or a dark gunmetal gray-black colour. The blues on the butterfly’s wings are a shimmery pearl enamel, like that of shimmer eye-shadow. Unlike traditional glitter, the pearl enamel produces a soft and subtle reflection and adds a dimension to the colour, reminiscent of the Blue Morpho’s iridescent wings. The Blue Morpho is a tropical butterfly native to Central and South America. Its wings can be various shades of blue as they reflect the bright sky.
