Optical illusion Pam! What looks like a pair of transparent wings is just the antennae on one side coinciding perfectly with the edge of the underwing on the other side, with the shine of the top wing in just the right place. Funny.

It does seem that way Pam.. until I put my glasses on :-) Those antennae a perfectly laid out to suggest a wing shape. Tricky. Glasses on! You are obviously enjoying central America.
