I had recently just bought the blue Morpho Chouchou butterfly. I cant wait for it to come in x3.

[NewtonianT]

this one Seems like a traped butterfly atached to some nylon rope...

but in other videos looks more like a electric butterfly

[kpopshawol]

How could someone think it's real? XD My mom just bought me a blue one :] It's so pretty, drives my cat crazy though. lol Takes AAA batteries. I put a video of it on my channel ^^

[reinoutvdberghe]

its like you smake your mom

[xXxblackkitty4xXx]

Dude, where can I get one???

[Artilas]

I own one myself and I can testify this butterfly is 100% not made of bug parts.

[igoyhirai]

It's beautiful, I want this toy so much.

[DustBunnie92]

I got one for my Grandma for her conservetory for christmas it looks so real :) she shows it to all her friends haha

[grace23fun]

Its real... the product i mean, its not a real butterfly, My mom just bought me one from cracker barrel :)

Lol my cat is trying to play with it through the glass

[TheSkuLLcomedyShow]

You think you're so cool with your electric butterfly. Just wait until my Mothra kit gets here!!

[allanseeder]

how does it work?

[regalateando]

No preocuparse que no sufren, en españa las podeis encontrar en

[Akanishisan]

that is SO cool. 

[newtonrox]

i think that when you tap the lid, you close a circuit that makes electricity run through the wire.

The more electricity through it,tthe harder and more straight it becomes.

that's it "flies" and seems to be roosting on the walls of the jar.

The same electricity starts a tiny engine that makes the butterfly flap its wings.

but, i really dunno. just guessing. XD

[ClubpenguinJames]

@newtonrox wrong.

i bought one of these for my girlfriend - all it is is a jar with a wire coming out of the lid, bent round the bottom of the jar, and then upwards towards the butterfly. its threaded through a hoop in one wing, and attached to the other. to make the butterfly flap, the motor in the lid twists the wire, to make it flutter around it randomly moves the wire all over the place. There is no electricity going through the wire at all

its simple, but its very realistic!

[JokimciusGoras]

Atrodo ispudingai!

[TLJH20071]

I like it. However, when you see a cable with it. I am quite disappointed with a bite flawless.  Anyway that is good design for someone went it.

[BadLactose]

Is this available at any stores in Canada. I can only seem to find it on UK toystore sites.

[hotboyfriend55]

wow i want one! but too bad it won't work outside the jar... :((

[mikeydapilot]

To all you haters out there who think this is fake, I actually met the man who came up with the idea today. It is real.

[hotboyfriend55]

@mikeydapilot you went all the way to china to talk to the dude?

[mikeydapilot]

@hotboyfriend55 No, I met him in New York City this past week. He's my friend's Uncle. He showed me his studio and everything. Very talented and intelligent guy.

[Winsucker]

Hei! That's what they did to my grandma :D

[UltraBibendum]

fake and gay

[RagingHamster]

the battery is in the lid. This is a robot

[omatu1]

i was thinking about the battery before you said the wire thing :d

[geminirat60]

so!

[pseudotruth]

Not convinced! Yes I can see what might be a wire or a photoshopped wire, but there's a lot of functions required to achieve the motion depicted, and I suspect a hoax. If it were shown to be genuine, it would be impressive. But then I ask myself, why place it inside a cheap moulded glass bottle with a design that's calculated to obscure & distort what's being demonstrated?

On balance: more likely fake than not.

[WOLPT]

@pseudotruth - your comment speaks to the brilliance of the device. I saw it in person and it most certainly is not a hoax.

[SuperUnic0rn]

@pseudotruth

Why don't you do your research before you post, because it's painful to read your trite opinion. It is a robot.

[unstablejoker]

@pseudotruth the "moulded" jar isn't made with the intent to obscure though I'm sure it adds to hiding the wire the thing is using... the jar choice is more for a nostalgia effect. Many children catching bugs/butterflies/insects would get canning jars/mason jars from parents/grandparents to use. It's an aesthetic thing. (personally grew up with the same style jar and use them for lightning bug/firefly catching)

[MorganFawnvern]

@pseudotruth Actually if you go to the website you will see you can buy it.

[makistudio]

wow!

[ecnatsid]

Why dont you let that thing go, you sadistic fuck?

[marmadooke]

@ecnatsid it's a toy...

[Borridd]

@ecnatsid I agree, robots have rights too you know!!

[jchoody09]

@ecnatsid Cause it''s not real. lol

[suckseggs]

so japan can make a robotic butterfly, but cant find the cure for cancer?

[MLH]

Remember the scene in Blade Runner where the owl turns out to be a perfect imitation? Yep, we're on our way to the future, people. B)

[kidrainenfina]

robot butterfly??

[Humberto4790]

Them Asians better not eat it.

[M4F]

that's amazing!

[TanvirBhulcrap]

So, i think it can be defined as a robot, because the input (tapping the jar), triggers a sensor and provides for an output (fluttering its wings). I'm not sure about the exact definition of robot though

[3DFULLHD]

77$ US + shipping for this "robot butterfly"

[jesman1985]

i had to watch it twice. the second time i saw the wire.. but ya. really kool.. it looks very real.. thatd be an awesome spy tool.. put a little micro camera on em.. nobody would expect a butterfly..

[away5]

Imagine how much this? and you say "look! a butterfly! lets kill her!" and millions of dollars go to the hell hehehehe

[WOLPT]

I've seen this product in person and it ROCKS! It looks like a real butterfly in a jar. I want one!!!!

[CursedSasukeKun]

ummm wtf is this shit

[tyclaudeinla]

I googled it and apparently that is an artificial "robot" butterfly. the kit will be sold around $30.

[chrisw40]

I would like to stick that butterfly under my balls and let it flutter its wings its hot

[maximv88]

Where's the Lightning Bolts?!

[honorio66]

You don't need a jar if it's a robot. Do you?

[CScoutJapan]

@Kamikaze933 LOL. It's NOT alive. It's not even a real butterfly.

[cdemanelis]

@Kamikaze933 HAHAHA!!! Dumbass

[MasterTainment]

stuuuuppppidddd XD

[10sup10]

Thanks Obama.

[carlosknight09]

Blade Runner no longer a fiction.

[americiancomrade]

@carlosknight09 don't worry deckard will "retire" that son of a bitch soon

[korencek]

it's probably flown by electric pulses given to the half alive butterfly.

[Vintagecoats]

I could see how this could be a limited robot, in that, the only functionality it *can* have with the way of it's design is to flutter around in the jar when it's tapped. That is, outside the jar, the toy just doesn't work - it's ostensibly a toy, with just this one gimmick of being able to flutter when the jar is tapped. Certainly I've seen plenty of other toys be designed, sold, and played with possessing just one gimmick function in mind

[Kitt0000]

Their is clearly a wire attached to the bottom of it, that's how its resting on the jar.

[darkpen]

that's robotic? insane.

[zDSpider]

Color me skeptical but how about a close up on the "robot" aspect ?

[nanolunik]

fake!

[eruption257]

Please tell me it's made of iron and plays "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" when provoked.

[arizzbball]

why would you need to tap it if it were mechanical

[thenetweb]

Extraball

[Targetf]

Maybe it's so real that it looks fake? Just saying.

[Turbo617]

A very poor fake.

[predatorjoutube]

fake

[destrukktt]

Interesting if its really a robot. Some video segment on its building or atleast some other information showing us its a robot would convince some of us non believers.

I Believe it very well might be but also I know there is a lot of fakes wanting to become viral internet videos.

Show us some of the how its made etc!!!!

- destrukkt (gizmodo admin)

[CScoutJapan]

@destrukktt It's definitely "electric", though perhaps a global definition for "robotic" is in order. There are batteries in the top, and actually a very thin wire (you can see it inside) connected to the butterfly. Some kind of sensor makes it flutter when you tap the top.

[KojachBaumherr]

@CScoutJapan so its just an electric wire shocking the nervous system to make it move? thats nothing new and exciting, just a nice trick.

[RaiNai2k7]

Wow.

[Tylertytykoo]

bet the guy didn't see the no tap on glass sign and that string lock the lid to the can

[utgfilms]

is that string holding it up?

[LTF85199]

that aint no stinkin robot

[mr77usagi]

is it really a robot?
