The Blue Morpho Butterfly is a species of neotropical butterfly that has brilliant blue wings
(the females are not as brilliantly colored as the males and have a brown edge with white spots
surrounding the iridescent blue area). The undersides (visible when the butterfly is resting)
are brown with bronze-colored eyespots. The Blue Morpho has a wingspan of about 6 inches (15 cm).
Adults drink the juices of rotting fruit using their straw-like proboscis.
