Blue Moon - _TNY_0250
The great eggfly (Hypolimnas bolina) is in some parts of the world known as the blue moon butterfly.
When you see it with its wings closed up (like this one from Ko Lanta, Thailand: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/29163880817/), the name makes little sense, but when they open up, like this one from the Haga Ocean butterfly house in Solna, Sweden, the name seems quite logical.
