Transparent Butterfly 透明翅膀的蝴蝶

It comes from Central America and is found from Mexico to Panama. It is quite common in its zone, but it not easy to find because of its transparent wings, which is a natural camouflage mechanism.

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.

拥有透明翅膀的蝴蝶，发源于中美洲，从墨西哥至巴拿马都可见到它的踪影。虽是当地常见物种，要发现它可不是一件易事，这归功于拥有保护功能的透明翅膀。

它是稀有及美丽的品种，精美得好比是精工打造的口吹玻璃。热带雨林生态学家用它来追踪生态变化。


在太阳光的照射下，透光的透明翅膀就像是一片片的染色玻璃，发出各种彩色光。

美好的事物不必引人注目，人生也是一样，毫不起眼的人往往是伟大的。
