This week bug is a special one for me.
As you may know, I’m originally from Costa Rica. My little cozy country loves nature, in fact we love it so much that our passports feature species that can be found in Costa Rica, one of them the Morpho butterfly.
What you should know is that Disney got it all wrong, they created a fantasy of fairies that paint and set ready the butterflies for spring. As you can imagine, that’s really unlikely. If you ever go to a forest in Costa Rica, maybe you can find the truth behind that blatant Disney lie…
Every one knows that fairies have a butterfly garage. Morpho colors are due to their anatomy rather than painting.
So don’t let them catch you for a fool! Know you know how it works…
You’re welcome!
I hope you have enjoyed this week’s silly bug prank. This space is for fun and nonsense, but maybe I should make it clear that I mix some reality in these things. The wings of the Morpho butterflies aren’t blue, in fact they are brown and we see them that way because of the angle in which we observe them. If you’ve been to Costa Rica before you know what I’m talking about. Also true I have one of these butterflies in my passport. 🙂
I hope you have a wonderful weekend, full of butterflies! And don’t forget to comeback next week for the bug of the week.
