Sylphina Angel

Sylphina butterflies with transparent wings are found in Bolivia, Peru, and Ecuador. Sylphina angel's transparent inner wings are bordered with black outer wings. Their beautiful tail is a combination of pink, blue, and green tones. They only go to the air during full sunlight and spend the majority of their time hiding beneath plant leaves. They formerly resided in a high-elevation cloud forest.

The sylphina angel butterflies enjoy flying and going on solitary feeding expeditions. On bright days, though, they also discovered groups of tens to hundreds of butterflies hiding beneath plant leaves. During the spring, they also travel great distances (up to 320 km) in search of nectar-rich blooms.
