🦋The Blue Morpho Butterfly (Morpho peleides) has bright blue wings that can startle other animals when flashed. They also have a brown underside with “eyespots” 👁️ to scare off predators and provide camouflage. 🦋❤️🥰🌿�.. #bluemorphobutterfly #bluemorpho #rainforestbutterflies #slowmotionvideos #morphobutterfly #morphobutterflywing #morphopeleides #nymphalidae #rainforest #rainforestbutterflies #morphopeleides #butterflyworldflorida #butterflies #butterfly #visitflorida #ftlauderdale #wildlif

The wings of blue morpho butterflies are iridescent blue — but contain absolutely no blue pigment! The color is achieved by tiny scales on the wings that have ridges, ribs and other structures that play with the physics of light at the nanoscale to reflect only bright blues. | Center for Biological Diversity
