Description: | The beautiful male Morpho butterfly was collected in Tingo Maria, Peru. The blue colouration is caused by the way light is reflected by the structure of the microscopic scales on the butterfly's wings. This is called irridescence. - - | Format: | text/html | License: | http://rammuseum.org.uk/legal | Publisher: | Royal Albert Memorial Museum & Art Gallery, Exeter City Council | Rights holder: | Royal Albert Memorial Museum & Art Gallery, Exeter City Council | Subjects: | Animals Natural history | Source: | Royal Albert Memorial Museum | Creator: | Not specified | Identifier: | http://rammcollections.org.uk/content/ca... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
