The Morpho telemachus caterpillars come to the same tree every year at the same time. Isn't that amazing?

Morpho telemachus is a dazzling butterfly found in South America, particularly in Peru, Ecuador, and Colombia. Known for its brilliant, metallic blue wings, it belongs to the Morpho genus, famous for the iridescence created by microscopic scales on its wings. These butterflies have a slow, floating flight and are admired for their beauty in art and by collectors. Conservation is important to protect them from overcollection and habitat loss. The caterpillars are generally not as visually striking as the adult butterflies. Caterpillars are often more cryptic in coloration, helping them blend into their surroundings for protection against predators.
