I'm very sure you don't know any of these animals.  #1. The Glasswinged butterfly Greta oto (glasswinged butterfly) is a brush-footed butterfly. The transparency of its wings results from the combination of three properties: first, from the low absorption of the visible light by the material constituting its wings, second, from the low scattering of the light passing through the wings and finally, from the low reflection of the light impinging on the wings surface. 48 Likes 6 Shares

#5. Tortoise shell beetle The tortoise shell beetle is not completely transparent, but it does have a carapace that is nearly invisible. The purpose of the transparent outer shell is to fool potential predators, as it reveals markings on its back that act as a warning. Tortoise beetles come in many different varieties, and the design under their clear shells can be distinct and beautiful. 12 Likes 1 Share

#6. European Eel European Eels change colors several times throughout their lives. They start off transparent before turning brownish-yellow on their sides and belly. After 5–20 years in fresh or brackish water, the eels become sexually mature, their eyes grow larger, their flanks become silver, and their bellies white in color. In this stage, the eels are known as "silver eels." 28 Likes 1 Share

#12. Glass frog The glass frogs (or glassfrogs) are frogs of the amphibian family Centrolenidae (order Anura). While the general background coloration of most glass frogs is primarily lime green, the abdominal skin of some members of this family is translucent. The internal viscera, including the heart, liver, and gastrointestinal tract, are visible through the skin, hence the common name. 11 Likes

#14. Sea salps A salp is a barrel-shaped, planktonic tunicate. It moves by contracting and pumping water through its gelatinous body. Salp jet propulsion is one of the most efficient in the animal kingdom. The salp strains the pumped water through its internal feeding filters, feeding on phytoplankton. cc: Modsfucker 10 Likes 2 Shares

#16. Ice Fish Living in 10m (32ft) below the surface of the Southern Ocean, where temperatures hover around -2 °C (28.4 F), are fish that seem to be made of the ice they swim beneath. Antarctic icefish are so well-adapted to the frigid waters, they even have an antifreeze glycoprotein in their blood and body fluids to stop ice crystals forming. 9 Likes 1 Share

#17. Fully transparent rain forest frog The glass frog’s stomach is completely transparent. Close examination reveals a fully visible system of organs, including the heart, liver, and full intestinal tract. Scientists believe that earlier frogs of this species evolved to have this trait for camouflage; while perched on a leaf or branch, they are extremely difficult to spot from a distance 9 Likes 1 Share
