Description
Greta Oto, also known as a Glass Winged Butterfly, photographed at Magic Wings Butterfly Conservatory in South Deerfield, MA. Found in Central and northern regions of South America with sightings as far north as Texas and as far south as Chile. I must admit, in spite of the lack of fancy coloration, this is one of my favorite butterflies. It seems so delicate, but, in reality, it's capable of lifting up to 40 times its weight and participates in very long migrations.
