Butterfly puppet by Folkmanis
|
Pollinating the flowers, the beautiful monarch butterfly pauses to show off her bright orange color. Cause a flutter when you animate her satiny wings!
FACTS OF INTEREST:
The change that butterflies go through from egg to caterpillar, to chrysalis, to adult insect, is called complete metamorphosis.
Caterpillars grow by shedding their skins because their skeleton is on the outside and cannot grow with them.
Although some caterpillars defend themselves by appearing to be ferocious, none bite or sting, and only a few have irritating hairs or offensive smells.
Caterpillars specialize in feeding and are mostly leaf-eaters. A butterfly's job is to produce eggs; it feeds on nectar or eats nothing at all.
WARNING: Choking Hazard-Small parts. Not for children under 3.
