Butterfly House - Cellular photo, sorry
17 August 2013 - Diergaarde Blijdorp (Zoo), Rotterdam, The Netherlands.
Captive specimen.
Blue Wave, Blue-banded Purplewing, Royal Blue, Whitened Bluewing or Tropical Blue Wave / Cyaanvosje (Myscelia cyaniris).
Amazonica is the (new) tropical butterfly paradise in this zoo. It is a large glass-domed tropical garden with lots and lots of butterflies and flowers. You can also see the pupa develop and hatch. A great place for macro photography!
