Glass winged butterfly

Name: Glass winged butterfly 

Scientific name: greta oto

More information:


The glass winged butterfly is so beautiful with its translucent wings! The reason why they have translucent wings is because they lack of coloured scales between the veins. Thus, the translucent part is just a membrane !

They can be found in Mexico, Panama , Columbia, and they do fly through Florida. And just like all butterflies, they have a four-stage life cycle.
