Barn Name: Nessaea
Gender: Mare
Height: 14.3hh
Halter Color: Light blue
Explanation: The scientific name of the Olive wing butterfly is Nessaea obrinus. They're one of the only animals we know of that creates its own blue pigment. Everything else has altered the molecular structure of hair, skin, feathers, etc. to reflect blue light instead of creating blue pigment. If you want to watch a video on this here: Why Is Blue So Rare In Nature? it's super cool.
