morfo—

Turkish - English

Definition of morfo— in Turkish English dictionary

(Tıp) morpho

Any species of New World tropical brush-footed butterflies in the genus Morpho (family Nymphalidae). Microscopic ridges on the wing scales break up and reflect light, producing the iridescent blue of the males of some species. The generally duller-coloured females have broader, less graceful wings. The hairy larvae feed on plants and live and pupate in a communal web. Some species have poisonous hairs that can cause a rash on human skin. Morphos are raised commercially in South America for use in jewelry, lamp shades, pictures, and tray inlays

Any one of numerous species of large, handsome, tropical American butterflies, of the genus Morpho

They are noted for the very brilliant metallic luster and bright colors (often blue) of the upper surface of the wings
