About this Event

Join us for an exclusive Blue Morpho butterfly pinning class at The Insect Asylum! Dive into the enchanting world of this iconic butterfly species found only in the tropical areas of Costa Rica.

Limited seats are available for this special workshop, offering you a unique opportunity to learn the art of preserving and admiring the beauty of the Blue Morpho butterfly.

The Blue Morpho, with its bright neon-like sky blue color, is a stunning sight to behold, reminiscent of the deep ocean blue. Its wings, when open, reveal a mesmerizing display of vibrant blue hues that captivate onlookers.

But the wonder doesn't stop there - the underside of the Blue Morpho's wings are a soft, dull brown color, dotted with several eyespots. These eyespots serve as natural protection, providing camouflage from predators and adding to the butterfly's mystique.

Truly astonishing and a must-have for any butterfly enthusiast or collector! Join us for this immersive workshop and learn the techniques to preserve and appreciate the beauty of the Blue Morpho butterfly. Pin, preserve, and cherish the magic of the Blue Morpho with us! Plus, make new friends and take home your beautifully pinned specimen at the end of the class.
