Butterfly Journal — El Tesoro de la Juventud Blue Morpho Lepidoptera Plate Morpho menelaus & 14 Species

El Tesoro de la Juventud — the beloved early 20th-century Spanish encyclopedia — placed the legendary Morpho menelaus at the heart of its second Lepidoptera plate, surrounding the world’s most iconic iridescent butterfly with thirteen remarkable species from the Americas, Europe, Africa, and Southeast Asia. Presented on a rich blue background that echoes the jewel-like quality of the Morpho’s wings, the plate assembles the vivid orange Dryas iulia (Julia Butterfly), the boldly patterned Abraxas grossulariata (Magpie Moth), the deep orange Appias nero (Orange Albatross), the dramatic Catocala nupta (Red Underwing), the Asterocampa emperors of North American woodlands, and eight further species — a full wraparound design that is both scientifically precise and visually breathtaking.
