- The Glasswing butterfly also commonly called Little Greasy and Small
Greasy. Its forewings are almost transparent with a few black spots. Its
hind wings are creamy yellow with black spot patterns. We seldom see them in
our area. The butterfly was wandering across the grass field in early spring
when I took those pictures. More pictures and information in this page.
