Fun fact! Clearwing butterflies have fewer scales on their wings then other species, making them almost transparent. This helps the butterfly to “disappear” into the background to evade predation. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10153144085465603&set=a.10152575329380603.958289.10150120463815603&type=1
