Beautiful Blue

Posted by
Laurie (New Jersey, United States) on 5 October 2009 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

Another beautiful butterfly from Callaway Gardens in Georgia. Unfortunately I don't remember the name of it.

Thanks to Bertrand I now know that this is a "Blue Morpho".

@Bertrand Duhamel: Thanks!!! At the Gardens they had information cards but we had to leave them when we left so I couldn't remember the different varieties I saw there.

That is a beautiful shot. Those morphos are darned hard to shoot in that pose. They never seem to strike it for me but fold their wings instead. Great job.
