That looks like a Blue Morpho. https://www.rainforest-alliance.org/species/blue-butterfly
Scroll down the page for the underwing view. Did you photograph this in an indoor botanical garden with butterflies?

Thanks, I should have remembered that, there were so many.

Pretty colors, nicely composed. I've seen them basking on leaves and on fruit, first time I've seen one at a flower.

Nicely done, good light and sharpness, I think you could afford to stop down a little, plenty of room on ISO I think, I think one stop down would go close to bringing the wingtips into focus.
