flickr Friday: Butterfly Stained Glass

Wow... we've never seen a butterfly like this, have you? It's a South American butterfly often called the Glasswing Butterfly (genus: Ithomiinae) and the see-through wings are a defense mechanism so he's hard to see in flight. You can read more here about these butterflies. Taken with a Panasonic DMC-FZ7. You can see more work from e³°°° at Flickr.
