Stunning Blue Butterflies From Around The World
South & Central America: Blue Morpho Butterfly
With a wingspan between 5 and 8 inches, the Blue Morpho Butterfly is one of the largest in the world.
Although the iridescent blue wings are undoubtedly striking, the Blue Morpho is able to protect itself from predators by quickly opening and closing its wings. This makes it hard for predators to track. The butterfly’s outer wings are brownish in colour and have six “eyes”, which trick predators into thinking it’s a larger creature.
