sunset morpho butterfly
Refers specifically to the butterfly species Morpho hecuba, known for its sunset-like coloration.
The sunset morpho butterfly inhabits the tropical rainforests of South America.
I saw the beautiful wing colors of the sunset morpho in a field guide.
Katakana spelling is standard for this butterfly name.
Kanji spelling is rare; the word is usually written in kana.
From 太陽 (taiyō, 'sun') + 蝶 (chō, 'butterfly'), referring to its sunset-like wing colors.
