Papilio zalmoxis

Known as the Giant Blue Swallowtail, this enchanting eyeful would also be a double handful, taking the prize for 2nd largest swallowtail in all of Africa. Its yellow body provides contrast for the striped black-edged wings that shimmer a robin egg blue with hints of green, a lovely change for a creature that started out its life as a caterpillar camouflaged as a bird turd. http://www.otherist.com/papilio-zalmoxis.html

Morpho Deidamia

The brilliant blue of this South American beauty is only present on the top of the males’ wings, making them difficult to spot unless in flight due to their habit of immediately snapping their wings shut on landing. Any predators that were tracking them in the air (I’m talkin’ to you, birds!) are left wondering where their enticing blue entree went, while the morpho snickers invisibly behind his antennae and camouflaged brown undersides. http://www.otherist.com/morpho-deidamia.html
