The Makrena Clearwing (Oleria makrena) is a delicate butterfly with translucent wings bordered by fine black veins and margins, creating a glass-like appearance. Its subtle, airy structure gives it a graceful and almost invisible quality in flight.
Native to Central and South America, Oleria makrena is found in tropical forests, where it inhabits shaded understory environments and forest edges.
Interesting Fact:
This species belongs to the Ithomiini group, whose members are often toxic and participate in Müllerian mimicry rings, sharing similar transparent wing patterns to signal their unpalatability to predators.
This specimen is preserved at A1 quality, fully spread and professionally mounted in a clear PE display frame, making it ready for immediate display. Collection data is included.
All specimens are ethically sourced, collected responsibly with a focus on sustainability and minimal impact on wild populations.
