11.  Morpho amathonte (family Nymphalidae)

Morpho caterpillars are not famous like their shining blue adults, but they should be.  No one would call them sleek and elegant like the adults; they have their own completely different color palette and style.

The eye-spotted camouflaged undersides of the adults and all 300 rearing records of Morpho amathonte can be seen here.
