Translucent.

Transparent means you can see through it, like glass. Opaque means you can't see through it at all, like brick walls. Translucent means that some light can pass through it, but you can't actually see what's on the other side. If you held a flashlight underneath a drum, you'd be able to see the light through the skin, but you couldn't actually see what was in there.

Why do you only feel heat from infrared wavelengths?

Infrared wavelengths carry heat energy that causes molecules to vibrate and generate heat in our skin. Our bodies are more sensitive to this specific range of wavelengths, which is why we feel heat from them. Other wavelengths do not carry the same energy that can be perceived by our skin as heat.
