Description

Morpho peleides is commonly known as the Blue Morpho butterfly. Their name comes from the fact that when they are flying it looks like they are morphing in flight. The top of their wings are an iridescent blue that is very reflective, while the underside of their wings are a duller brown with spots that resemble eyes to help the butterfly blend into the environment when not in flight.
