Greta Oto 2007-09-06 07:10:00 Greta OtoThe Greta Oto commonly called as the Glasswing Butterfly comes from Central America, and is found from Mexico to Panama. The tissues between the veins of its wings look like glass thus giving it the transparent wings. This is a natural camouflage mechanism of this butterfly. The opaque borders of its wings are dark brown sometimes tinted with red or orange, and its body is dark in color.
