EVER SEEN A TRANSPARENT BUTTERFLY?


 

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