The Glass Winged Butterfly

A friend sent me this email and I thought I would share it here. Hope you think it is as beautiful as I did. The Glass Winged 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 qual ity and its demise alerts them of ecological change. Rivaling the refined beauty of a stained glass window, the translucent wings of the Glass winged butterfly shimmer in the sunlight like polished panes of turquoise, orange, green, and red.
