Five wings? So what?



How much would you pay for a five winged Morpho aurora aurora?
Is it a crippled butterfly, a deformed specimen of inferior value?
Or a rare speciality of high scientific value, what worths the modest price of $ 195'000.00 (before tax)?
Unfortunately I couldn't buy this giveaway because PayPal didn't accept the amount:
Your transaction exceeds the individual transaction limit of $10'000.00 USD. What a pity!

Check here and tell us when you buy it.

Gentlemen, the worth of a Morpho solely depends on the size of the area covered with blue scales.
Now that 5 wings enlarge the area for about 25%, this price is absolutely justified.
Besides, the seller will personally hand the specimen over to you. Which would make me feel more than honoured.
Why not buy a blue Morpho when you could have bought a house for that price as well?
I would take buying this specimen into my most serious considerations, if only I had the money.
Should any member of this blessed forum feel inclined to purchase this Morpho, please let me know, and I will strive for breeding further five- or six-winged specimens for you.

Kind regards,

Werner
