Another one from Wye Valley Butterfly Zoo, this time of a butterfly I think I can identify, the Blue Morpho (Morpho menelaus) - although happy to be told its a different species 
These mesmerizing insects, indigenous to the rain forests of Central and South America, get their cobalt hue not from pigment but from the thousands of semitransparent scales that filter blue from the visible spectrum and radiate it out from the wings.
