Blue morpho butterfly egg
Blue morpho butterfly egg
Morpho peleides
The red band signals a chemical reaction that follows fertilization. Inside the egg is the germ of a blue morpho, one of the world's largest butterflies, with a wingspan of five to eight inches.
Exquisite Castaways
Engineered for survival, insect eggs hang on and hatch wherever their parents deposit them.
The eggs in this story range in diameter from 0.7 to 2 millimeters. The images were made with a scanning electron microscope, which uses beams of electrons to trace the surfaces of objects. The resulting black-and-white images were then colored to reflect the eggs’ natural appearance
