GLASSWING BUTTERFLIES ARE FOUND THROUGHOUT SOUTH AMERICA

 Butterflies with transparent wings are rare and  beautiful. They are as delicate as finely blown glass. 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.
