The Glasswing Butterfly

The Glasswing Butterfly lives in South America. It is a butterfly with transparent wings and 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.

they are gorgeous. If you get the chance to visit the Living Rain Forest just outside Newbury take advantage of it - some of the most gorgeous specimens flutter round your head!
