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.

My son has been fascinated with butterflies and after MANY purchases of other butterflies (including the Folkmanis butterfly finger puppet), they all fell apart or looked very "disfigured" after a few days of play. This is large, very well-constructed and an overall great puppet/toy. We are now on to growing real caterpillars into butterflies... and this product is still around and his favorite. Recommend this highly !!

This is a really good puppet! I am an average sized woman, and my hand fits in it, but it only comes down to my wrist. I don't think there is a better way to make a butterfly puppet, not much on a butterfly to use to camouflage your arm. If you flip your hand over and put it on with your palm against the back of the butterfly, you can make it look like it is flying. The wings are made out of a satin-like material with something to add stiffness in between the layers. The colors are beautiful! It is not nearly as fragile as it looks in the pictures.

Overall, this is another great puppet by Folkmais. I am very pleased with my purchase. I bought this item for my Church VBS and everyone I have showed it to loves it!! I recommend it!

The photo shows a puppet larger than an adult human hand. What I received is smaller than half an adult hand and is intended for your fingers. Doesn't have legs or antenna as shown in photo. Will be returning it.
