Abstract

The present research project was developed in the butterfly farm, located in the Umanaventi Community of the province of Satipo, with the objective of evaluating the development cycle of Morpho helenor and characterizing the host plant Machaerium sp., weekly evaluations of the different post-embryonic stages, considering an egg stage, five larval stages, one prepupal and one pupal, until the adult stage of the butterfly, the stage from egg to pupa is known as the development cycle. It is concluded that the development cycle of Morpho helenor, which extends from egg to adult emergence, is 67.6 days with a standard deviation of 1.35 days; Its host plant is the legume Machearium sp. which reaches an inclined length of 2.37 with 0.13 m standard deviation. The plant has a sloping growth habit from the third year onwards.
