Combining 50 individually die-cut cards with
full-color illustrations, plus hundreds of intriguing facts,
stories, statistics, and trivia, Fandex is the newest
breakthrough in information-packed, family publishing. Large,
bright die-cuts (often as big as the butterfly or even bigger!)
in true-to-life colors make this a foolproof way to identify and
celebrate 50 species, from the enormous Queen Alexandra Birdwing
with its 11-inch wingspan, to the Blue Morpho, whose stunning
metallic-blue color is caused by tiny prisms in its wings. Each
entry includes the Latin name, range, plants used for laying
eggs and drinking nectar, migration and mating habits, and how
to recognize the species in its caterpillar, pupa, and adult
stages. Comes inside a clear plastic sleeve.
