Field Notes

Description:

A stunning clearwing butterfly from the undergrowth of a rainforest. Clear wings transition into pink at the tip of the hindwing. A small eyespot is found in the pink shading.

Habitat:

Dense undergrowth of a lowland evergreen rainforest. These almost have no room to fly, and flight seems clumsy.
