Description:

Another blurry shot but just to show the glasswing butterfly, which can also be found in the National Park of Arenal Volcano.
If is not G. oto, it could be a related species.

Dying to see one alive...don't think they live near me though. Thanks for sharing the snap.
Yes, I am very happy to have seen them around while hiking. But they are very skittish and they fly away in the moment you approach them :-)
Great find Marta! I just found my first one last December, they are amazing.
