Description
Incredible Insects Set includes:
Insects Toob
o Crawly, squirmy, and a little wiggly, this Toob lets you hold 14 iconic insects in the palm of your hand, including a caterpillar, dragonfly, centipede, grasshopper, housefly, ladybug, spider, honeybee, cockroach, scorpion, praying mantis, ant, and 2 butterflies.
o History: The number of known insect species ranges from between six to ten million and researchers believe they could amount for up to 90% of animal life forms on Earth. Although we couldn’t fit that many figurines into a single Toob, we were able to include some of the most quintessential representations of the Insecta class. Be careful, they may try to scurry out of sight and hide when you aren’t looking!
o Characteristics: Insects are amazing creatures, though it might be best to study realistic models rather than the real thing! Unique, accurate, and colorful, these models are exceptional for learning, imaginative play, or skittering across your desk and nightstand as cool pieces of décor although it may be best to keep the scorpion somewhere safe.
o Size: 1.5 inches long, 1.5 inches wide, and 12.8 inches tall, this Toob is a bit larger than the size of a standard American ruler and contains figurines of some of most common creepy crawlers found around the world that range from 1.25 to 3.75 inches tall.
Monarch Butterfly
o An incredibly iconic species of butterfly, the monarch can be found in many parts of Northern and Central America. Monarch butterflies are pollinators, which is why you can often see them by flowers during the spring and summer!
o Scientific Name: Danaus Plexippus
o Characteristics: Did you know that monarch butterflies were successfully housed on the International Space Station? Learn tons of other cool facts about this interesting insect with our lifelike and accurate monarch butterfly model!
o Size and Color: Monarchs are easily identifiable due to their black, orange, and white wing pattern with white spots. Measuring 3.25 inches long and 4.5 inches wide, this figurine is as long as a deck of cards and about as wide as a soda can is tall.
Honeybee
o Honeybees are some of the hardest working creatures in the animal kingdom. Worker bees labor tirelessly day in and day out their whole lives, and by the end each one only produces a fraction of a tablespoon of honey!
o Scientific Name: Genus Apis
o Characteristics: Despite their similarity in appearance to wasps, honeybees are predominantly harmless. Hand painted and designed with superior accuracy; this honeybee is on the prowl for nectar!
o Size and Color: This honeybee figurine is colored with its iconic dark black head and legs, as well as a black and yellow striped body. It measures 5.5 inches long and 7 inches wide, making it as long as a dollar bill and as wide as a 16 oz. water bottle on its side.
