What does MORPHO mean in Scrabble?
noun
zoology
A large tropical American butterfly whose wings shine a brilliant metallic blue.
The morpho belongs to a genus of butterflies from the rainforests of Central and South America. Its upper wings gleam because of the structure of the scales rather than pigment, while the undersides are a dull brown with eye-like spots that help it vanish when it rests. Collectors have long prized the species, and the shimmer of a morpho in flight is among the most photographed sights of the forest.
