  1. Fluterby’s

  2. A butterfly with transparent wings is rare and beautiful.  As delicate as finely blown glass, the presence of this rare tropical gem is used by rain forest ecologists as an indication of high habitat quality and its demise alerts them of ecological change.   Rivaling the refined beauty of a stained glass window, the translucent wings of the Glasswing butterfly shimmer in the sunlight like polished panes of turquoise, orange, green, and red.

  3. It comes from Central America and is found from Mexico to Panama. It is quite common in its zone, but is not easy to find because of its transparent wings, which is a natural camouflage mechanism.  

  4. All things beautiful do not have to be full of color to be noticed: in life that which is unnoticed has the most power.
