Its wingspan is about 12 cm (4.7 in), and its dorsal forewings and hindwings are a bright, iridescent blue with black edges, while the ventral surfaces are brown.

大蓝闪蝶（学名：Morpho menelaus），又译作大蓝魔尔浮蝶，是闪蝶属的一种蝴蝶。广泛分布于新热带界的南美洲北至中部一带。现今因栖息环境大受森林砍伐影响而面对生存威胁。
著名于闪铄的金属蓝色翅膀，在20世纪广受收藏家珍视，亦被大量捕捉，其独特的彩虹色微结构也是科学家经常研究的对象。Apple版本的emoji“🦋”亦参考自这种蝴蝶。
