Blue Morpho Butterfly
The Blue Morpho butterfly calls Central and South America home. Its wings stretch up to six inches across and flash an electric blue that seems to glow from within. This isn’t just any blue. The color comes from microscopic scales that reflect light in a way that creates this intense iridescence. When it folds its wings, you’ll see a completely different side – brown patterns that mimic dead leaves, keeping it safe from predators.
