Hi Jon,
I thought I would forward this email to you.
A couple of days ago our
work experience student from Paris noticed two different species mating in the
flight area - Morpho peleides X Morpho
achilles. Thankfully he took a picture which is attached.
Now all we have to do is either be on the look out for hybrid offspring or
try and catch M. peleides and M. achilles in the act again, collect them and
wait for the female to lay.
I wonder if the offspring would be fertile and would they cross in the
wild!!
I'll keep you posted
Carl.
