The White Morpho (Morpho polyphemus) is a rare, iridescent butterfly native to Central and South American rainforests, with brilliant white wings that reflect light to confuse predators. Named after Polyphemus, the one-eyed giant in Greek mythology, this butterfly’s prominent eyespots serve as a defense mechanism to startle would-be attackers.
