Oleria estella, the Estella clearwing or Estella glasswing, is a species of clearwing (ithomiine) butterflies of the family Nymphalidae. It was first described by William Chapman Hewitson in 1868 and it is found from Venezuela to Bolivia in the eastern foothills of the Andes.
The wingspan of the males is 39–43 millimetres (1.5–1.7 in), females – 38–42 millimetres (1.5–1.7 in). [2]
The larvae feed on Solanum species.
Hemaris thysbe, the hummingbird clearwing, is a moth of the family Sphingidae (hawkmoths). Coloration varies between individuals, but typically the moth is olive green and burgundy on its back, and white or yellow and burgundy on the underside. Its wings are transparent with a reddish-brown border. It has light-colored legs, which combined with the lack of striping on the underside is diagnostic. Beating its wings rapidly, H. thysbe hovers to collect nectar from a variety of flowers. The combination of its appearance and its behavior commonly leads to it being confused with a hummingbird or bumblebee.
