Greta oto, also known as the glasswing butterfly, is one of the most amazing butterflies in the world, with wings through which the world can be seen.

Its wings are almost completely transparent due to the absence of colored scales between the veins.

These butterflies live in the tropical rainforests of Central and South America, from Mexico to Argentina (they are especially common in the Amazon basin).

They are extremely sensitive to environmental changes. Air, water, or soil pollution, as well as deforestation, has an immediate impact on their numbers. Greta Oto is the embodiment of nature’s ingenuity. This is a unique creature that not only survives in the tropics but also helps scientists monitor the health of the planet.

Butterfly symbolism: The butterfly is an ancient symbol of the soul, immortality, rebirth, and resurrection. In your home, it will become a talisman of positive change.
