Most butterflies prefer to rest with their wings closed, but the blue morphos seem to be more prone to show the colours of the dorsal side of the wings than most.
This peleides blue morpho (Morpho peleides) was absolutely cool with me coming close - both with the camera here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/ - but also with the phone camera, capturing this short video of it and how the wings shimmer.
