We Don't Need To Whisper

14-billion-years-later:

Well, butterflies are cool again. This beautiful wee thing has the unnecessarily ugly name of Greta oto or the more common and poetic name: glasswing. The tissue that comprises the wings simply lacks the coloured scales that give most butterflies their incredible displays. They’re found in central America and perhaps even Venezuela although the reports are not confirmed. Get this though, they’re also poisonous, not because they manufacture the poisons, but because they absorb it through their diet. Fuck yeah butterflies.
