When I read the title, "Transparent Butterfly", I did not imagine this! The wings look glassy-isn't it?
Well, the scientists who study butterflies (BTW, what are they called?) believe that transparent wings are not due to evolution but it may be the choice of the butterflies; they might have chosen not to grow their wings with colors! Can you believe this?
These glass wings (as they are also known as) are found in Mexico region. I think transparent wings are camouflage to make them less visible..
If that is the case with butterflies, what about this transparent "Sea Cucumber"? These creatures again live in the oceans of Mexico but very far below, somewhere 200 meters below the surface of the sea where even sun light can't reach.
It is again a case of survival!
But, what a beauty! Nature at its mysterious best-eh?
