I couldn't get a better shot of this one. it was standing on the back of an helliconia leaf that was rocked by the wing, a couple shot and it was gone forever.

I think that the way the light is filtered by the wings on the second pic indicates that the wings arent as clear as they seem. If one pays attention to the legs, they do seem to be behind a white colored filter. Anyway it still looked spectacular!
Yes, Gilmahey are in the same genus. What I meant is that the wing in this one looks much more clear than in mine. But I agree that maybe it was a light effect.
Sergio Monteiro it looks to me just like your spotting, http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/108... but your shot was in the light and Diaz José Miguel in the shade!!??
So beautiful!! Would love to run into one...some day!! : ) Diaz José Miguel, thank you for sharing.
Thanks Sergio, I was astonished as well.
I never saw one with clear wings! So beautiful!
