The Blue Morpha Butterfly, is an amazing creature- it has a sleek black body, with beautiful,graceful blue wings. It’s one of my favourite types of butterflies. It lives in South America. Their wingspan can be up to 13-17 centimeters! That’s around half of a ruler!

    Some of their predators including baby jaguars and birds that kill them, and fish when they are near water. But the worst enemy is humans. Yes that’s right, humans are the worst predators to the Blue Morpha. Humans go into their habitat and put them into glass containers and sell them. Just think– your a Morpho Butterfly. A peaceful creature. Never did anything  wrong to hurt the world. Then, all of a sudden, out of nowhere you get captured by a very mean person and he puts you in a jar.

” Where am I? Where are they taking me?” Your thinking. You see the man trading money for you. Then he gives you away, like you don’t even exist. Well that is what a Morpho Butterfly would think.
