Fascinated by the unique synergy of nature and mechanics, Ugears continues to explore the amazing world of automatons and presents its latest mechanical pet, the Butterfly model. The Butterfly is not a static stand model, but an animated kinetic sculpture.
The delicate wings of The Butterfly are made of craft paper. The lower wings change their tilt angle when the model is working to ensure that the movements of the automaton resemble those of real butterfly. Two front pairs of its legs move the wings flutter. The back pair of legs are used as launch/stop levers of the rubber-band motor.
