The Blue Morpho can be found in the tropical rainforests of Latin Amercia from Mexico to Columbia.
They are severely threatened due to deforestation of the tropcial rainforests.
I found this one at The Magic Wings Butterfly Conservatory & Gardens in Deerfield, Mass. It was so cool to wander around with all these butterflies fluttering around me. I even had one land on my camera lens. It was so peaceful and relaxing. I got there on a weekday and when they first opened. It took quite a while to capture this little beauty on film. They were constantly moving around and I had to watch constantly where I was stepping as not to step on one that was on the walkway. It was hard to keep up with them, but so much fun!
Have a Great Weekend!
Beautiful shot. Almost looks like someone spray painted its wings.
