See-thru Butterfly, Pt. 3 - _TNY_1841

On the last of February 2022, I spent the afternoon at the Haga Ocean butterfly house and made a new aquaintance - meet the giant glasswing (Methona confusa)!

 

Apart from the really cool transparent wings, those orange antennae tips also stand out to me.

 

One thing about this one that I won't see - but would like to - at the butterfly house is the caterpillar. It is segmented in bright yellow and dark brown with a black head.
