Wholesale Swallowtail Butterfly Figurine

With its large yellow wings veined with black and its blue and red eyespots, the swallowtail is one of the most beautiful butterflies in our gardens. Easily recognizable, it catches the eye when it feeds on flowers or gracefully flies in the sun. Present in much of Europe, it enjoys flower-filled meadows, vegetable gardens, and open spaces. An amazing fact: its caterpillar, green striped with black and dotted with orange, mainly feeds on plants from the Apiaceae family, such as fennel or dill. To protect itself, it has a small orange organ called an osmeterium, which emits a deterrent odor against predators. This transformation cycle, from egg to butterfly, wonderfully illustrates the metamorphosis of insects. This Papo figurine faithfully reproduces the swallowtail butterfly: bright colors, finely detailed wings, and a realistic silhouette. An ideal model to enrich a collection of garden animals, invent light and poetic stories, or raise children's awareness of the wonders of biodiversity.
