Field Notes

Description:

The wings are thinly scaled to the extent that in many species they are semi-transparent. The scales tend to get rubbed off very easily so that insects more than 4 or 5 days old have a distinctly glassy or greasy appearance.

Habitat:

rainforest

Notes:

I spotted this beside a stream near Mountain Paradise Lodge in eastern Ghana.
