Glider - _TNY_1548

The third most common butterfly at the Haga Ocean butterfly house in Solna, just north of Stockholm, Sweden, is this stunner.

 

The species is known as the blue-banded morpho (Morpho achilles), but also banded blue morpho and Achilles blue morpho.

 

The blue morphos hve unusually large wings in relation to body size so they have a distinct style of flight with a lot of gliding - very pretty.
