Description

The Blue Morpho Butterfly is a species of neotropical (a eotropical region that extends from the southern tip of South America up to Mexico) butterfly that has brilliant blue wings (the females are are not as brightly coloured as the males and have a brown edge with white spots surrounding the iridescent blue area). The undersides (visible when the butterfly is resting) are brown with bronze-coloured eyespots. The The Blue Morpho Butterfly has a wingspan of about 6 inches (15 centimetres). Adults drink the juices of rotting fruit using their straw-like proboscis. Second in, top left is one of the feeding stations they have in the butterfly farm, on it you can see feeding the Blue Morpho and the Owl butterfies, Note the difference in markings, quite similar until you look closer. For those of you that don't know thats Alan (artaddict2) with the butterflies on him. Please zoom for full in your face. #;0) Thanks for stopping by for a look and for any comments you care to make

That is a vibrant butterfly! I wouldn't have thought it was real since the color is so bright and glowing but I know you wouldn't take shots of something unreal. The details are amazing and I love the owl butterfly put in as well. Alan looks very nice with his shirt decorated. :-)

Are you kidding me? Those are all the same species? Incredible, with the different colors top and bottom. I never would have guessed that in a million years. Thanks for this!
