Seven Eyes - _TNY_7599

While looking very similar to the Peleides blue morpho (Morpho peleides), this instead is an Achilles morpho (Morpho achilles).

 

Unlike the Peleides one, this one doesn't have the entire dorsal side of the wings in metallic blue, but here there are two deep blue iridescent bands on a black base - but still very pretty for sure. Like this one: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/51983908732/
