I stopped in at Sophia M. Sachs Butterfly House Saturday afternoon and found an amazing butterfly. I'm not sure what it's official name is but I'm calling it a Clear-winged. I've seen photos but never thought I would see one let alone be able to photograph one. The glassy wings work as a means of camouflage to help them blend in with the environment thus protecting them from predators. They feed on the nectar of common plants, but they seem to prefer the flowers from Lantana, which is what it's feeding on in my photo.
