A Glasswing Butterfly (Greta oto)
While most butterflies have clear wings covered in thousands of scales, this one has no scales on its wings, counting on it's relative invisibility to protect it from predators.
They are among the fast butterflies, and very nervous, so they are incredibly difficult to photograph.
They are indigenous to Central and South America.
