Papo France Clouded Yellow Butterfly

With its bright yellow wings, the marigold butterfly brings a vibrant splash of color to meadows and gardens. A tireless migrant, it can be seen in Europe, Africa, and as far away as Asia, where it travels long distances throughout the seasons.

Surprisingly, although discreet, this butterfly plays an essential role in pollinating the flowers it visits to feed on nectar. Its caterpillars, for their part, develop mainly on clovers and other plants of the Fabaceae family. Recognizable in flight by its rapid and irregular wingbeat, the Marigold is often confused with other orange butterflies, but its black-edged wings allow it to be identified.

This Papo figurine exquisitely reproduces the Marigold butterfly: finely detailed wings, vibrant color, and realistic posture. An ideal model to enrich a collection of insects or garden animals, invent poetic stories, or educate children about the importance of pollinators.

Measures approximately 2 x 2.8 x 1.6
