Blue Morpho Butterfly

This is another video I captured while visiting the Tennessee Aquarium’s Butterfly Garden. The Tennessee Aquarium is located in Chattanooga, TN. The main character starring in this video is the Blue Morpho butterfly.

According to tnaqua.org (link is below) the blue color on this eye-catching butterfly comes from light reflecting off the overlapping scales on the butterfly wings. The brown underside helps camouflage the butterfly as it eats rotting fruit on the forest floor.

It’s range is Columbia and Venezuela to Mexico. It’s habitat is the Tropical forest and has a diet of juice from rotting fruit.
