120/365: Butterfly

Blue Butterfly

The zoo in Łódź opened an exotic butterfly exhibit, so obviously I had to go see! Now, you're not supposed to touch the butterflies, but this one came and landed on my hand all of his own accord. I moved him to my friend's hand so that I could take some pictures. He was very reluctant to open his wings, though...

I think he's a Morpho Peleides, but I'm no lepidopterologyst.

  4. Gorgeous. I remember visiting a butterfly house and waiting for the butterfly to open its wings was a little frustrating, particularly since when they did, I rarely caught it on camera! :D
