Description
Blue Morpho Butterfly(Morpho peleides)
Blue morphos live in the tropical forests of Latin America from Mexico to Colombia. Adults spend most of their time on the forest floor and in the lower shrubs and trees of the understory with their wings folded. However, when looking for mates, the blue morpho will fly through all layers of the forest. The blue morphoβs entire lifespan lasts only 115 days, which means most of their time is spent eating and reproducing.

Oh, no... It's rather Morpho peleides (Morphidae). I'm quite sure of that, I have already bred this wonderful species from the egg to the adult butterfly.

I can only go by what the signs at the exhibit indicated. That said, I wouldn't be surprised that they weren't correct. Thank you for a proper identification.
