Blue morpho butterfly, wings mostly closed.

Before I finally the found the one with its wings open, this was the best I had. The closed wings are also quite beautiful, but they don't have that wonderful blue.

Hard to believe it was once a caterpillar.
Thank you for the crisp and vibrant representation of this butterfly.
