My Butterfly Collection - Animated Butterfly in a Jar - Blue Morpho(Valentine's Gift)

Butterfly Jar If when you were a child you wasn?t too busy with those new fangled computer-ma-bob devices, you may have spent your summer afternoons (or at least one of them), torturing butterfly?s by catching them with a net and sticking them into jars that have very little ventilation. Only as a child could you get away with such cruelty. Thankfully no butterfly?s were hurt in the making of the My Butterfly Jars, even if you do find yourself wondering if they are real! Your beautiful little butterfly remains still until you tap the top of the jar or make a noise where it suddenly bursts into life, fluttering around inside the jar in a most realistic fashion. It?s the stop, start motion that you?ll know all so well if you have ever done this as a child that really makes you start to wonder if they are mailing out real butterfly?s inside jars! The magic happens through the use of some fine wire attached to the metal lid which contains two AA batteries. Not entirely sure how this setup makes the butterfly move around in such a lifelike fashion, but the end results are pretty magical. Already a huge hit at the Tokyo toy fair this year the My Butterfly Jars look set to be one of the top gifts of the year, though if trapping butterfly?s isn?t your thing, you could always have a look at the Fairy Jars, which is a great product that well?. traps fairies inside jars for your enjoyment!
