What a beautiful butterfly! It reminds me of a similar looking butterfly known as "papilio ulysses", which is a swallowtail found in Australia, but has similar coloration and pattern.
I used eyelash glue on the bit of silk attached to the cremaster and glued that to a piece of paper towel which I then pin to the top of the cage. I also put newspaper or paper towels in the bottom to keep the cage clean.
Morpho butterflies are interesting in that their wings lack pigment. They appear blue because their scales are iridescent, meaning there color is an illusion of the wavelength reflected. Their wing color will change depending on the angle of light reflected.
@@markma3005 that's why I love them so much, anyways i think that there is only one found species of lepidoptera with acual blue pigments in the forwing.
While I am not sure which butterflies or moths have true pigment in their wings, I know that some of the world’s most beautiful Lepidoptera lack pigment on their wings. For example, the Swallowtail teinopalpus imperialis and the Madagascan Sunset Moth have the colors of the rainbow on them, but they are all the result of iridescent reflection.
Most butterflies feed on a mix with either sugar and water or honey and water but I’ve heard that sugar can damage their “mouth” so I would recommend honey also make sure to use pure honey and don’t get their legs or wings wet :)
What about having a plastic box with sand at the bottom? You can just remove the dirty sand. Would that work? What do they need to thrive inside the house? I live in Norway.
Hi bart thank you for your video, I have four crysalids I would like to breed them and was wondering if they are able to mate in a space like that I have placed them in one of my chameleons terrarium wich is free right now, do they need to fly in an open space in order to mate? Or just a cage is enough... If they don't mate how do you perform had pairing them? Last question wich host plants you provide to the females in order to lay eggs? I have been told someone use passifloras...
@@BartCoppens heb je ook een video waarin je uitlegd hoe je een vlinder kunt opzetten als ie dood is gegaan? Ik heb er weleens een gevonden maar ik wist niet goed hoe ik het kon opzetten.
Where do you buy morpho????? I just wana buy 2 one male one female and then the egss hach and i wood let them flaing in my room oh godd is gona be amaizing ✨✨butt plese tell me what site or how to buy them
Geez this was sad. This was like watching the puppy mill or horrible rabbit farming version of keeping butterflies. No art no Love. Just keeping them to make money what a horrible thing to do. this guy doesn't think at all about how the butterflies feel only about making profit.
What a dumb fucking comment lmao, I literally don't profit from this and it is my passion, I am in conservation and study their life cycles, while you are being judgemental cattle online. What did you contribute? Who are you to tell me about art and love? I have devoted my life to these animals.The only puppy mill here is society that mass produces deformed and misinformed puppies like you that are ignorant about the world.

I had the pleasure of one of these landing on my hand at the Stratford Butterfly House here in the U.K. 🦋
I went there yesterday. When it landed in me it tickled ☺️
Hi, nice video ! You should create something like a discord server to talk about moths or butterflies etc... would be interesting!

I love this! It shows the messy side of butterfly breeding. Nature isn’t all glamour. It’s dirty and messy.
I used eyelash glue on the bit of silk attached to the cremaster and glued that to a piece of paper towel which I then pin to the top of the cage. I also put newspaper or paper towels in the bottom to keep the cage clean.
Very beautiful 😍 I wanna start hatching butterflies but I’m too scared to commit because of my lifestyle.
I love all kinds of butterflies
Even their caterpillar forms
I don’t completely love nature but I love trees, clouds and butterflies!
How do you care for them after they’ve been hatched
my favorite butterfly red admiral uk
This is so beautiful
What plant should I plant in my garden to attract blue morphos specifically?
Interesting video story, thanks! Good luck!
Have you ever thought of using a changing pad on the bottom of the cage, even a washable material ? Just a thought!
Finally im going to now how to hatch them :D
Excellent video!!!
I love the way there wings reflect the light to make a vibrate blue colour, but where do you purchase them?
Stratfort butterfly farm.
@@BartCoppens thanks for the info

Great video buddy! Going to contact you ASAP. Thank you for the work you do.
How do you feed these morpho butterflies do you have certain flowers to put in?
Most butterflies feed on a mix with either sugar and water or honey and water but I’ve heard that sugar can damage their “mouth” so I would recommend honey also make sure to use pure honey and don’t get their legs or wings wet :)
Morfo's feed almost exclusively on rotting fruit, Mangos, Banana etc.
Where do you purchase your pupae from? I apoligize if you mentioned it already. Thank you (:
how to file a permit for tropical pupae?
Que maravilla!!!

Could you teach me how to multiplicate this kind of butterflies?
🦋
Could you do a tutorial of hand mating them?
This year i think i did wrong with trying to hand mate owl butterflies ;_;
JuanchGames_YT he did one
Interesting video! Are you from Holland?

I LOVE MORPHO!!!! ♥️ ♥️ ♥️
I wish I could get hold of some of these to raise!
Nice job... So sadly I'm living in Indonesia , I can't order it from you
I live in Brazil. What is their plant for their caterpillars
Machaerium salvadorensis.
Plants in the pea family. Peanut plants work well in captivity.
What is the shipping time for Stratford butterfly farm?
Bart do you sell the blue morpho pupae?
But do you release them into something big after hatching or what do you do with them?
Niet veel bijzonders behalve kweken voor de lol. Ze zitten in dezelfde kooien maar in kleinere aantallen.
@@BartCoppens ah oké
@@BartCoppens heb je ook een video waarin je uitlegd hoe je een vlinder kunt opzetten als ie dood is gegaan? Ik heb er weleens een gevonden maar ik wist niet goed hoe ik het kon opzetten.

What do you do with them after they have hatched?
I breed more and film them on my channel :)
Hi , i want to buy their larvae . How can I buy?
Maybe for morpho is good but for caligo etc a it's horible
what host plants can you use for blue morphos and if it is peanut plants, how many caterpillars can you raise per plant?
Plants in the pea family. At Chester zoo Butterfly House they used peanut plants.
The underside looks like morpho knight EX
