Transparent Butterflies

I recently came across a few images of some fascinating butterflies with an unusual twist: their wings are mostly transparent! Informally known as the transparent butterfly, their official name is the Glasswing Butterfly. They are found in Central America, and I wanted to post these images and links for my daughter Lisa, who loves butterflies.

The featured image (which may only be displayed on the index pages, depending on your settings) was randomly selected. It is an unlikely coincidence if it is related to the post.
