A1 Top grade As perfect as reasonable expectations dictate. Many A1 specimens are ex-pupae bred and represent the highest standard normally expected for natural entomology specimens. A1/A1− Minor flaws Virtually perfect and fresh. These specimens will have minor flaws — sometimes only antennae damage — and can offer excellent quality at significant savings. Why many Morpho butterflies have no abdomen. Most species of Morphos have the abdomens removed at the farms because many store fats from their larval days in their bodies. The grease can leach out and discolour the wings, so removing the abdomen prevents the wings becoming black and greasy. Many times the abdomens are not sent with the specimens from the source.

Why abdomens can appear compressed. Specimens frequently exhibit dorsoventral compression of the abdomen, typically resulting from the desiccation process during farm-based preparation. This is due to the low structural density of the tissue. At present, there is no established entomological method for restoring the original abdominal morphology after drying.
