A rainforest is an area of tall, mostly evergreen trees and a high amount of rainfall. Rainforests are Earth’s oldest living ecosystems, with some surviving in their present form for at least 70 million years. They are incredibly diverse and complex, home to more than half of the world’s plant and animal species—even though they cover just 6% of Earth’s surface. This makes rainforests astoundingly dense with flora and fauna. Rainforests’ rich biodiversity is incredibly important to our well-being and the well-being of our planet.
La mariposa cristal es una especie de lepidóptero ditrisio de la familia Nymphalidae de alas transparentes. Es popularmente llamada «mariposa espejitos».
Su envergadura oscila entre 5,5 y 6 cm.2 El tejido entre las venas de sus alas parece de vidrio al carecer de escalas de color. El borde de sus alas es de color marrón oscuro, a veces teñidas de rojos o naranja y su cuerpo de color oscuro.
La transparencia de las alas se debe a que el tejido no es capaz de absorber la luz, ni tampoco de dispersarla, llegando incluso a ser posible ver a través de ellas. Esta característica les sirve de camuflaje entre la vegetación, por lo que logran pasar desapercibidas para los depredadores un gran número de vece
Se alimenta del néctar de una variedad de flores tropicales comunes

Un par de mariposas greta oto, debido a que son transparentes y tienen muy pocas texturas son complicadas de sacar.
Mariposa de cristal. Jamás pensé que podría fotografiarla y mucho menos verlas nacer. Gracias al Mariposario de Benalmádena pude vivir una experiencia única y totalmente recomendable.
The glasswing butterfly. I never thought that I can capture and much less to see born. Thank you very much to Benalmádena Maiposarium I was able to live an amazing and unique experience.

Greta oto is a species of brush-footed butterfly and member of the subfamily Danainae, tribe Ithomiini, and subtribe Godyridina. It is known by the common name glasswing butterfly for its transparent wings, which allow it to camouflage without extensive coloration. In Spanish speaking regions, it may also be referred to as espejitos, meaning "little mirrors" because of its transparent wings. The butterfly is mainly found in Central and northern regions of South America with sightings as far north as Texas and as far south as Chile. While its wings appear delicate, the butterfly is able to carry up to 40 times its own weight. In addition to its wing physiology, the butterfly is known for behaviors such as long migrations and lekking. The Greta oto closely resembles the Greta andromica.
The glasswing butterfly is most commonly found from Central to South America as far south as Chile, with appearances as north as Mexico and Texas. This butterfly thrives in the tropical conditions of the rainforests in the Central and South American countries.

De Greta oto, beter bekend als de glasvleugelvlinder of glasswing, heeft doorzichtige vleugels. Dit komt doordat de kleine schubjes die de vlindervleugels kleur geven ontbreken op de vensters van de vleugel. De zwart met oranje kleurlijnen op de vleugels zijn de vleugeladers, deze geven stevigheid aan de vleugel.!!
Un par de mariposas de la especie greta oto a las cuales las caracterizan sus alas transparentes. La toma está realizada sujetando en alto el posadero con la mano izquierda y disparando con la derecha, de esta manera podemos elegir el fondo más apropiado .
In de jungle profiteert deze kleine vlinder optimaal van zijn doorzichtige vleugels. Door de felle zon valt de Greta oto weg in het landschap en ziet de vijand hem niet vliegen.
Oorsprong: Zuid-Amerika !!!
Fijne nieuwe week.
