ABOUT THE MARIPOSA VITRAL

The Mariposa Vitral (Ithomia Leila) is a  delicate, slow-flying butterfly whose name  derives from the the appearance of wings made from  glass. Their translucent wings serve as a defense mechanism, making them more difficult to spot by their predators. The Mariposa feeds on nightshades, and can be spotted in the cloud forests of southeastern Mexico.
