Artist's notes:
 This
drawing of a Blue Morpho was created in 2007. It was a challenge
to capture the iridescence of the wings without making it
look artificial. The color of these butterflies really is
striking. I saw a few in the rainforests of Costa Rica.
When they are resting they fold up their wings and are hard
to see in the forest undergrowth. But when they're disturbed
they 'pop' up with a brilliant flash of metallic blue.

The Blue Morpho Butterfly lives in rainforests of South
and Central America. It is has brilliant blue wings. It
is a neo-tropical butterfly with has a wingspan of about
6 inches (15 cm). The vivid color of the blue morpho’s wings
is a result of the microscopic scales on the backs of their
wings, which reflect light, causing the butterfly to appear
a brilliant iridescent blue.
