Glasswing

Where to find: Tropical House

(Greta Oto)

Glasswing arouse much attention because of its transparent wings. It is quite small 3-5 cm in wing span, but they fascinate because you only see the black edges and white patches on the wings when it flies.

Almost all glass wings are bred here in the house. Larvae live on Jasmine Plant.
