This is a Blender 2.74 model of a Morpho Menelaus butterfly built from reference pictures. All textures are digitally painted. The model is rigged with a simple armature to move legs, wings and independent parts of the abdomen. Three simple poses are provided:

• a rest pose to see the butterfly from the top;
• a flying pose with legs bent in fly position;
• a reversed pose to see the butterfly from the bottom.

This butterfly was originally created for a lenticular print. An optional Python script is provided to switch from photorealistic rendering to freestlye rendering. The script can be installed from the user preference menu. Once installed a switch button is available on the object tool pane.
