Blue Morpho Butterfly Swarm , Brazil

As they flit above the rain forest tree tops, the butterflies brilliant blue color can be seen by pilots flying over hand!!!.

Despite their stunning color, blue morphos are not true blue that is their wings are not colored blue. So what's deal?

Like all butterflies, morphos have tiny, overlapping scales covering their wings are folded up. The drab color helps them blend in with their surroundings and hide from enemies like birds and large insects. If the butterflies are discovered, they have a second line of defense: two bronze- colored wing spot that look like eyes- perfect for scaring of would- be predators.These butterflies are indeed one of natural wonders!!
