The Glasswinged butterfly (Greta oto) is a brush-footed butterfly, and is a member of the subfamily Danainae, tribe Ithomiini, subtribe Godyridina.
The wings are translucent, with a wingspan of 2.2 to 2.4 in. Its most common English name is glasswinged butterfly, and its Spanish name is “espejitos”, which means “little mirrors.” Indeed, the tissue between the veins of its wings looks like glass, as it lacks the colored scales found in other butterflies. The opaque borders of its wings are dark brown sometimes tinted with red or orange, and its body is dark in color.
Habitat: Mexico, Panama, Venezuela, and the rain forest of Costa Rica

Cool… I wonder what they taste like deep fried in bacon grease…
Only a very small person with a constricted soul sees such beauty but can think only of bacon grease and his own appetite.

lmao …. deep fried crow…..tastes like chicken
You probably taste like chicken, too. dan!
I was kidding… just my twisted since of humor…
OK
And please don’t judge a book by it’s cover. Did you look at my facebook page or just do a hit piece? I will remember to post ‘sarcasm alert’ as I should have done and on the one about the paint ball gun and cats and others. I forget that ya don’t know me like other people know me who expect that kind of humor.
“I forget that ya don’t know me like other people know me who expect that kind of humor.”
I don’t find anything “humorous” about saying you’d use little cats for target practice or deep fry rare glasswing butterflies in bacon grease. Those are YOUR words – and you’re lecturing to me about not judging a book by its cover?
Thanks so much for this photo Dr. E. Such a nice change from some of the more disturbing news! Beautiful, I’ve never seen one like this.
So pretty!
Awesome… Creation always blows my mind…
Thank you, Dr. Eowyn, for showing us this most beautiful butterfly. What a beautiful and gorgeous creature!
Finally, it is absolutely remarkable how human beings who have such incredible beauty right in front of them as a gift from God, can’t see it, but think only about themselves. Then, they attempt to cover up their selfish narcissism with an “I’m just kidding,” comment. That kind of behavior further reinforces for me my love of Jesus, and His incredible mercy, for all people, even people like Hujo. As for our Dan, you are most disappointing. There is a time for humor. This was a time to ackowledge the beauty of God, and yes, men can do that too. Please don’t be so stupid.
