Morpho sp.
There were only a handful of tropical butterflies at the Calgary Zoo on 9 April 2013, when this photo of one of the large Blue Morphos was taken. Even fewer when I was there again on 16 April 2013. It's early in the butterfly "season", but eventually their numbers will increase and the tropical plants will get much larger, and it will once again be a tropical paradise! The staff and volunteers put in so much work and effort to create this amazing place for us to enjoy.
Actually, I've just realized that this butterfly is different from my previously posted Blue Morpho images, so it must be a different Morpho species. "A Morpho butterfly may be one of over 29 accepted species and 147 accepted subspecies of butterflies in the genus Morpho." From Wikipedia.
