Blue Morpho Butterfly

Again at Butterfly Rainforest, this pic illustrates the difference between the inner and outter wings of the butterfly. Inside wing is iridescent blue while the outside wing has "eyes" to protect from preditors. I'll post a pic tomorrow of the inner wings

It's pretty rare to see both sides of the wings in one picture. Beautiful capture!

At first I thought that it might be smarter to have the brown on the top, but then I remembered butterflies rest with their wings up. Good catch!
