Blue Morpho Butterflies

Choose blue morpho coloring pages with broad open wings or folded wings covered in ring patterns. The collection ranges from a single butterfly above two leaves to fruit trays, streams, waterfalls, a glasshouse and a leafy wreath. For larger coloring areas, start with the open-wing portrait; for finer work, compare the bark, fern leaves, window frames and forest backgrounds. Download and print a page, then choose your own wing and background colors.

Open panels or rings on folded wings?

Compare the two wing views before choosing your morpho.

A blue morpho rests beside banana slices and papaya on a wooden tray, showing the ringed spots on its closed wings.

Folded wings at fruit

Concentric rings cover the visible wings beside fruit slices and a wooden tray. Choose this for circles, leaf detail and wood grain.

Digital coloring example

Digital example of a butterfly with tan folded wings, eight golden ringed spots and a dark brown body beside uncolored fruit, a tray and foliage.
A digital color suggestion, not a photograph of a printed result. Open the original line drawing to print and try your own colors.
  • 1. Tan folded wings
  • 2. Golden circular spots
  • 3. Dark brown body and fine limbs
  1. Color both visible wings tan, including the narrow wavy edge bands. Work around the eight circular spots and keep every vein visible.
  2. Fill all eight circular spots golden yellow, including their centers. Preserve the black concentric rings: three spots on the upper wing and five on the lower wing.
  3. Color the body, head around the eye, legs, antennae and curved feeding tube dark brown. Leave the eye's white areas, fruit, tray and all plants uncolored.

Count three upper and five lower spots, then trace each set of rings. The tan wings and golden circles should remain distinct; this is a palette for this drawing, not an identification guide.
