  • Despite its name, Blue Morpho Butterfly’s wings are not actually blue at all! While they may appear this way, this is not the result of pigmentation. It is actually caused by the way light reflects off the microscopic scales on its wings.

    These morphos are very common here were I live in Central Brazil. But not in urban areas, you have to go the woods to spot them. The two most common here: Morpho menelaus and Morpho helenor.

    Uff, what irony - 4 months to develop into beautiful butterfly, and then, less than 4 weeks to feed and find a mate and give birth to next generation ? Life is tough !!

      But just think about the giant silk moths, like the cecropia, which spend almost a whole year growing up, and then only one week as an adult moth!

      I feel a little silly quoting a fictional character from a Marvel movie, but keep in mind…

    Morpho peleides, the Peleides blue morpho, common morpho or the emperor is an iridescent tropical butterfly found in Mexico, Central America, northern South America, Paraguay and Trinidad. Most authorities believe that peleides is a subspecies of Morpho helenor.

    Stunning cinematography, but National Geographic, I really dislike the horrible and most distracting type on your videos. I guess it is provided for people watching on phones, with sound muted in public. If you want to make video for phones, choose a square frame rather than 16/9 and please mark them as such (so I can more easily avoid selecting those to watch!) And for videos you want people with large screens to enjoy at best quality, please focus on visual quality and use narration for providing info, not type that pulls focus away from the imagery.

      Great insight Denis. Now I only wish we (me and the other 2 people that filmed, wrote and edited 30 videos of 30 different species in 12 days) had the time to complete all those format options. You're right though, that would help. Thanks for watching.

    Would prefer a narrator instead of the music and text.

    • @NatGeoWild
      @NatGeoWild  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for your feedback! Are there other reasons why you prefer videos with narration?

    • @AhpgZfoc4s
      @AhpgZfoc4s 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks for reading my comment! I think the text (and music) distract from the beautiful imagery. Instead of watching the intricate details and motions of a butterfly emerging from its cocoon, I'm looking elsewhere, i.e., reading text. With a narrator, I can watch and listen to the information at the same time. Some of the Nat Geo WILD videos have a narrator and I appreciate it. Maybe I'm a little old school growing up with Attenborough documentaries though. As for music, I prefer to hear the sounds of the creatures and environments. Soundtracks are kind of cheesy in my opinion but I'm probably in the minority on that.

      Disagree. I think the text and music makes the video more beautiful and meditative.
