There are many types of morphos. The blue Morpho Aega, or Brazilian Morpho, is probably one of the most popular butterflies used for jewelry and even as inlay for woodworking. The term Blue Morpho actually refers to several butterfly species. The territorial habits of the forest-dwelling Blue Morpho were exploited by the native peoples along the Rio Negro in Brazil who lured them into clearings with bright blue decoys. The collected butterfly wings were used as decorations for ceremonial masks.
These lovely sterling silver earrings are also available using the wings of the Diaethria Clymena (88 butterfly) and Doxocopa Cherubina (Turquoise Emperor) butterflies.
