'Morpho' is a
male SilkWing who was introduced in The Hive Queen. Formerly a member of
the Jewel Hive Chrysalis, he is currently a member of the SilkWing
Assembly and resides in the LeafSilk Kingdom.

## Description

Morpho has blue scales and bright, vibrant blue wings similar to Blue's.
He also has a torso dappled with iridescent sea green scales, and little
patches of white dotting his tail. His eyes and antennae are emerald
green, and his tail point is blue.

## Personality

Morpho is impatient, rash, bossy, hot-tempered and somewhat insensitive;
he blamed Tau's deformed wing for their inability to find better meeting
places. Morpho was also readily willing to kill all of the HiveWings in
order to help his own tribe, especially after Sundew introduced herself
and her plan. Morpho appears to believe that no HiveWing could ever be
completely freed from Queen Wasp's ideas, even if they were eventually
released from her mind-control. He is suspicious and distrustful of
their entire tribe. He is also judgmental, stating that Argus is a "lazy
caterpillar," and wearing an expression of disapproval when mentioning
that Temora was too tired to attend their meeting. Morpho tends to have
very high standards for SilkWings wishing to join the Chrysalis. During
his time in the SilkWing refugee camp, Morpho kept insisting that he was
in charge.

## Biography

### The Lost Continent Prophecy

#### The Hive Queen

Morpho was a member of the Chrysalis. Morpho was in Jewel Hive's
library, arguing with Cinnabar and Tau over the best way to overthrow
the HiveWings. Morpho argued that the Chrysalis should work on improving
the SilkWing tribe before overthrowing the HiveWings, while Cinnabar and
Tau both argued that the SilkWings needed to be focusing on attacking
the enemy. After Swordtail introduced himself, Morpho also met Blue and
Cricket, although Morpho, Cinnabar, and Tau were understandably wary of
Cricket's presence. Morpho was skeptical after Cricket admitted that she
was not affected by Queen Wasp's mind-control, but stopped arguing after
Cricket mentioned that she would have been imprisoned by now if she was
vulnerable to the Hive-mind. After Sundew introduced herself, Morpho was
very supportive of her plan to wipe out the HiveWings. Their meeting was
then interrupted by three HiveWing guards, one of which was being
mind-controlled by Wasp. Wasp demanded that her two companions start a
bonfire of books in the middle of the library to smoke Morpho and the
others out of hiding, but Cinnabar and Tau both revealed themselves to
Wasp before the fire was started, with the excuse of spending extra time reading instead of working for Jewel (THQ)|Lady Jewel. Cinnabar and Tau
were taken away, and Morpho then went home, explaining that his father
would worry if he was out too late.

#### The Flames of Hope

Morpho was mentioned to be in the underground caverns, insisting that he
should be in charge of everyone in the cavern. He was later mentioned to
be in the SilkWing Assembly, the new governing body for SilkWings.

It's not important who's right! Although it was me! But

But Queen Wasp could, if she wanted to. She just doesn't
because she likes to give the Ladies the illusion of control. As long as
they think they have their own Hives to run, they'll bow and scrape and
let her be the one who's really in charge of everything.

## Trivia

  - Cricket commented that he was named after the color of his wings.
    This is likely an error because SilkWings are not hatched with their
    wings.
