Hello,
I took this picture in the state of Minas Gerais in Brazil, close to Belo Horizonte. I think that this is of the Morpho genus, as it was quite similar to Morpho menelaus; however, the forewing seems to have only one eyespot as opposed to all of the photos I have seen on where the menelaus have more. Any thoughts? Thanks,
Ryan
Hi Ryan,
We are not sure what species your Morpho Butterfly is, but perhaps one of our readers can assist in the identification.
