Each specimen is unique in colour and attributes we believe every little character glitch is a part of it's story and to be embraced. Random fact all Morpho butterflies are mounted without abdomen. The abdomen of the Morpho emits a grease like substance which stains the backboard. All professional mounts will not have an abdomen attached.
