Glasswing Butterfly
I got a beautiful email from a friend about these and wanted to share. I think they are just amazing.
quote: Glasswing Butterfly,
Lives in South America
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.

Re: Glasswing Butterfly
Absolutely Gorgeous. I know some one that is very much into Insects I would love to share them with him if you don't mind (I'll wait for your answer--it'll mean posting them on another board that I'm a member of)
