Morphos are creatures of daily habits and rituals, as males spend the mornings patrolling along the courses of forest streams and rivers. They are territorial and chase any rivals. (Gorgeous and feisty) Morphos typically live alone, excluding in the mating season.

The entire lifecycle is around 115 days.
