i know! it's was the first and only time i have ever seen them! I was so happy that I managed to get a rather decent photo of such specimen, it's too impressive :)

Absolutely beautiful creature! But do they not have scales on their wings?

I think they have "full" wings but that transparent region has thinner layers or something which allows them to camouflage better :D

thanks for stopping by!

You're welcome. :)
Are they transparent so they aren't so easily found? But they also have colors around the transparent region.

yeah it's very complicated xD but i red somewhere that it helps them to "hide" from predators

they're called Glasswing butterflies (greta oto) if you want to know more about them :)

I know they are Glasswings, but we don't have these beautiful species here. Thanks. :)
