Big Blue Butterfly

by Kids Discover

Found in Latin American tropical forests, the blue morpho butterfly is among the world’s largest, with a wingspan of up to eight inches. The top sides of its wings are bright blue, but the undersides are brown, so it stays hidden from predators when its wings are closed. (Photo: FineShine / Shutterstock)
