Greta morgane
thick-tipped greta
Greta morgane, commonly known as the thick-tipped greta, is a day-active clearwing butterfly in the family Nymphalidae. Adults have reduced wing scaling that creates transparent areas on the wings, a characteristic feature of ithomiine butterflies. The species is widespread and common across its native range in Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean, with occasional strays recorded in southern Texas. It was first described by Geyer in 1833 under the basionym Hymenitis morgane.
