Photoshopped.
November 12th, 2006 at 4:56 pm
That looks totally fake. Did you use photoshotp or something?
November 12th, 2006 at 6:18 pm
Nature can be much more surprising than photoshopped things you know. This butterfly is real and is extremly beautiful.
November 12th, 2006 at 6:39 pm
That’s not photoshopped. Try using an encyclopedia or dictionary. They still work.

Cool. Their wings, however, are not transparent, they’re translucent.

I’ve seen these things and they’re fascinating. They have some at my local zoo.

Greta oto is a brush-footed butterfly, and is a member of the clearwing clade; its wings are transparent. Its most common English name is glasswing, and its Spanish name is espejitos, which means “little mirrors.” Indeed, the tissue between the veins of its wings looks like glass. It is one of the more abundant clearwing species in its home range, which extends throughout Central America into Mexico. - wikipedia
So, It is real

They look just like northamerican average butterflies but thier wings have gone through a genetic mishap.

Most of the wing is in fact transparent, and not translucent. If you’re going to be pedantic, be right about it.

La Mariposa Glasswing (alas de cristal)…
La Mariposa Glasswing se puede encontrar en una emplia sección desde America Central hasta México. Las venas de sus alas son tan finas que se trasparentan como el cristal.

No the word transparent is appropriate here. Translucent applies to anything that allows light to diffuse through it. These wings are not translucent they are transparent and allow details to be seen through the wings….the colored/solid parts of the wing are likely translucent.
November 13th, 2006 at 3:47 am

Nice pictures.
However, if you have a single page, why are you saying “after the jump”? Do you even know what it means? That is by far the most annoying blog catchphrase ever…and when there’s no jump, you just sound like an idiot.

Hmm… I have heard that these little creature were bred by the Maya indians. Apparently they were fascinated by the Lightwave that is refracted through the wings. To this day I know of 3 Decent Studios that rare them with Maximum interest.

i dont think it fair that butterflies (and ladybirds come to mention it) are considered pretty… i mean they are beautiful to look at… but its not fair, they’re just bugs with pretty wings… paint a mosquito’s wings turqoise and it would be just as pretty

“Their wings, however, are not transparent, they’re translucent. ”
Did you see the pictures? You know the ones up top where you can see what’s in the background right through the wings? DUH!!!!

Hmmm “photoshop” as a verb..”draw” “shop” hmmmm an action word…it probably is a verb although also a brand name of a program implying actiion…hmmmm.
“Photoshop” noun or possibly verb
“Photoshop sucks” hmmm…what would that be…sucks would be the verb…Photoshop the object…
Photoshopical now THAT is an issue to be pondered…
Let me photoshop you…LOL I’ll make your head soooooooo huge!!!

I’ve seen this in Costa Rica since I was little. There are a couple of similar species, even one with full transparent wings but the border. Nowadays, is really harder to find them, earth is dying.

I think those little butterflies are exquisite. I love raising butterflies in my backyard. They may be just “bug with wings” to some, but to me they are little floating jewels and I adore them just as they are. Living in the self-proclaimed “butterfly capital of the world” (Coconut Creek, FL), I just wish I could get little glasswings in my backyard!!!
