Description

been a while...and this isn't new....just never got around to it.

I guess I'm in a slump? hopefully that will change with some new scenery coming up.

:heart:

the butterfly is a Morpho peleides or a common blue morpho, although what is common about these butterflies is beyond me, they are breathtakingly gorgeous in flight and near impossible to find sitting still with their wings open. One of the cooler points about this butterfly is that it's not actually blue....if you see it in shade it looks like a boring old brown butterfly, but when sunlight hits the scales on the backside of the wing it looks like this. Also if you're still reading this...then you are either my friend or crazy ;)

Also I never say this but the full view will afford you a much cooler look at the scales on the wing.

This is absolutely incredible - I love butterfly shots detailed enough to see the scales on their wings. This is absolutely incredible.
