Very pretty. From Wikipedia: Today, Blue Morphos and similar species are reared en masse in commercial breeding programmes. The iridescent wings are used in the manufacture of jewellery and as inlay in woodworking. Mounted specimens are sold with the abdomen removed to prevent its oily contents from staining the wings. The lamellated structure of their scales has been studied as a model in the development of fabrics, dye-free paints, and anti-counterfeit technology such as that used in currency.
