Butterflies and Skippersclear winged butterfly
This beautiful butterfly we can’t identify or find it anywhere on your website. Does it have a name? Please reply so my kids can classify. Thanks!

Hi Ginger,
We located a site by simply typing clearwing butterfly into google that gives this information: “Clearwing Butterfly, Oleria spp. (Family Ithomiidae) These ethereal and delicate tropical forest butterflies are often lured out of their seclusion by the chemicals found in dried Heliotropes. Their wings lack the usual dense covering of scales that give other butterflies their distinct coloration. This transparency renders these clearwing butterflies elusive as they appear and disappear in the dense forest undergrowth. After observing these butterflies, it is easy to see how numerous butterfly wings adorn the backs of fairies.”

Posted 23 Oct 2009 at 7:58 am ¶we were just asking for a name for classification so next time do the world a favor and dont be rude and tell us how to use google, just tell us the name, if we wanted to know by using google we would’ve used it OK?

We could not for the life of us recall ever making a rude comment to a request for a Clearwing Butterfly identification. We searched the original posting from 2006, and still had trouble finding rudeness in the response since an identification was made and a response was given. Since our benign response elicited this chastisement after three years, we cannot just let this pass. If you thought that response was rude, Shiloh eldest daughter, you had better sequester yourself away from the world and stay off the internet since you will have a difficult time when you encounter real rudeness.

sorry again,

Hi Shilo,
Posted 25 Oct 2009 at 4:56 pm ¶Thanks for the explanation, but that inquiry was over 3 1/2 years old. Whenever we post something to the website, we also email the person who inquired directly. Sometimes because of blocked accounts, our responses do not arrive. Did your mother receive the original response thee and a half years ago? The answer also included the genus name and a link to more information.
