Dragonfly wing
Definitely the wing of a cicada, not a butterfly. There are glasswing butterflies that have see-through wings, but not this shape - not in Texas.
Hello, I moved this to Arthropods for you. I also checked the "Help me ID this species" box so others can help you ID this spotting.
I agree Keith - looks more like a Cicada wing to me.
