Blue Morpho Butterfly ~ This image shows the underside of the Blue Morpho's wing, with just a hint of blue showing through a little tear in the wing. They never light with their wings open, so the blue is usually just seen when they fly. That blue sure is stunning.
Green Ornate Checkered Beetle on Phaecelia ~ I found both red and yellow-green versions of these beetles in Henderson Canyon out of Borrego Springs, California. I liked their green metallic heads with red feelers.
