what do u think about butterfly with transparent wings??

Answer 1

They do exist (see here for one example http://www.treknature.com/gallery/South_America/Brazil/photo13127.htm )

It depends where you live. If you have found one, it may be native or out of its range or escaped from a butterfly farm.

Most butterflies have wings covered with scales which reflect llight in a particular way, something like the rainbow colours you can see when you look at a CD in sunlight. The scales themselves are really brownish. These can be rubbed off and it's possible that you have one which has been damaged in this way.

Answer 2

I've seen photos of this type, but never saw one in person. The photo showed it on a book and you could read through the wings. Pretty cool looking.
