Blue Morpho Butterfly underside wing detail

More fun at Butterfly World last Tuesday morning.  It was warm and sunny and the butterflies were in a mating mood.  However my favorite of the day was a large Blue Morpho sitting very close and still. Butterfly wings are covered with tiny colorful scales usually arranged in beautiful pattern. I was able to capture some of the wing detail with my 100mm macro lens at approximately 1:1.   Make sure to view this gallery full screen so you can appreciate the detail.
