If you’ve ever wondered what a flying lobster might look like, a thrift clearwing is probably as close as you’ll get. This dapper little creature looks like it’s dressed for a special occasion with black or bronze colouring that gives way to tiny transparent gaps on its forewings, so it looks like it’s wearing lace.
