I got these because we are studying nature and I am really not a "bug" type of person. Since I couldn't see myself in the backyard trying to capture a praying mantis, this is as close as my kids were going to get to having a hands on experience. While the models are not to scale, they are large enough to show the details too small for the human eye in the life cycle. Since I am not an expert, I can only assume the model is accurate as it doesn't contradict what we have read in books. Not sure how accurate the coloring is, but man is always at a loss for being able to replicate the true beauty of nature. Definitely recommend for people interested in giving young children an up close and personal view of bug life cycles.

My Granddaughter loves it, but I was unhappy for two reasons.

1- I found the same item in Wal-Mart at a much lower cost.

2- It is not just like the one advertised on TV. The TV version includes a poster and stickers-so my Granddaughter was disappointed.
