You definitely have a male Morpho rhetenor there !
The brilliance of its blue color and more importantly the extreme falcate forewings readily distinguish it from anything else. There are at least 6 described subspecies belonging to it. Morpho rhetenor augustinae remains the rarest of the six and easily the most expensive to afford ($1500 to $2200 USD).

Re: Morpho rhetenor
As I said, I tried this with a green Papilio, using acetone, benzine and alcohol. No chance, I think that structures are destroyed.
