About the product: The Mariposa Vitral (Ithomia Leila) is a delicate, slowflying butterfly whose name derives from the the appearance of wings made from glass. Their translucent wings serve as a defense mechanism, making them more difficult to spot by their predators. The Mariposa feeds on nightshades, and can be spotted in the cloud forests of southeastern Mexico.
