Common Morph Butterfly - Morph peleides

The Blue Morpho's upper wings are not actually blue but appear blue to us by the way the light reflects off the microscopic scales that are diamond shaped and produce the phenomenon which is known as 'iridescence. A common and wide spread butterfly found in central and south America and in the islands of West Indies.
