Butterfly in a Jar

Butterfly in a Jar

Feb 12, 2011 6:40 AM

Ever dreamed of keeping a butterfly in a jar forever? Now you can! The Butterfly in a Jar gift is like nothing you have ever seen. Unpackage the glass jar and activate the switch located inside the lid. No all you need to do is just tap the lid and watch the "butterfly" fly around in a surprisingly lifelike way.

Powered by three AAA batteries (supplied with the butterfly), the "My Butterfly" product is a unique feat of micro-electronics. Everytime you tap the glass bottle you can watch "My Butterfly" fly, flap and flutter.

Gently tap the jar once for instant action! One tap willl wake your butterfly up , two taps will make it flutter and three taps will make it flap around the glass bottle. The butterfly is also activated by ambient noise and music. There is no need to turn the "My Butterfly" off; batteries last in standby mode for months ready for a tap to awaken.

I own two of these, the yellow swallowtail and the monarch pictured here and I have to say, they are really, really cool. They also make a blue morpho and a pink morpho. The look and movement is very realistic. I gave away 10 as Christmas gifts and they were a big hit. Lowe's sells them for $15 if you can find them locally, but not all Lowe's carry them and many are sold out. My cats are crazy about them too.

meh, the real thing is free, even if they only last a day in the jar.

If the humane aspect doesn't appeal to you, perhaps the laziness factor will. Catching a butterfly every day requires, energy, effort and luck (not to mention cruelty and neglect). You don't need any of those for these butterflies.

yes, but when the batteries die out and are disposed of, they will poison the environment, killing gazillions of butterflies.

@shellyfish: rechargables? we don't have electricity here, we have to use fireflies in jars at night, and a handcrank to power this internet connections.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
