Native of Central America, the Transparent Butterfly can be found in an area spanning from Mexico to Panama. Although common in this area, it is hard to spot due to its natural cammouflage device. But it isn't just another rare beauty: their presence indicates to the rainforest biologists a high-quality habitat; their absence, indicates an environmental change.

Originária da América Central, a borboleta transparente encontra-se numa área que vai desde o México ao Panamá. É bastante vulgar nestas paragens, embora seja difícil de ver devido às suas asas transparentes que actuam como um mecanismo natural de camuflagem. Esta borboleta de asas transparentes é rara e muito bonita. A sua presença indica aos ecologistas da floresta húmida que estão na presença de um habitat de alta qualidade, e o seu desaparecimento avisa-os de que houve uma mudança ambiental.
