I photographed this coffee clearwing
moth, also known as the coffee hummingbird moth or the coffe
hawk moth, near the river in Vang Vieng. Notice that the middle
segment of his body matches the color of the flower petals. With
the flower petal positioned so perfectly it might appear that
the color you are seeing is behind the little critter.
Although his wings are transparent it would be impossible to
sport transparent body segments.
