GLASSWING BUTTERFLY‏




The 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.

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