Butterflies and Moths of Aotearoa

LizzyI have been a big fan of Liv Sisson's book on the Fungi of Aotearoa, so was extremely excited to have a new book from her to match, all about our butterflies and moths. Just like her previous book, this one is a stunning visual display of some of the small, quiet creatures that surround us even when we aren't aware. It's a beautiful photography collection, a fascinating book of facts, and a field guide for finding them out in the wild. I love Sisson's approach to nature - she brings a childlike curiosity that is joyful and fascinating, along with her expert eye. A beautiful book that would make a great gift for a nature lover, or if you're like me something to get for yourself.

Liars, cheats and copycats

Meet some of the world's most dastardly creatures, who lie, cheat and deceive for a living. There's the deadly praying mantis that looks like an innocent pink flower. The assassin bug that strums spider webs to lure in a tasty snack. The cuttlefish that changes colour to hide its romantic intentions. To understand how these creatures swindle their way to the top, Liars, Cheats and Copycats reveals the science behind camouflage, mimicry and masquerade. Taking readers on a journey from tropical rainforests to the darkness of deep ocean trenches, James O'Hanlon explores how animals and plants use deception to avoid predators, lure in prey and even reproduce. From creatures that disappear in front of your eyes to ones that misdirect their foes like masterful magicians, there are endless...

Turtle Creations: Baby Butterfly Dragon - Night Rainbow / Small Baby

Turtle Creations: Baby Butterfly Dragon - Night Rainbow / Small Baby

3 years or older

She has butterfly wings and she's not afraid to use them. The Baby Butterfly Dragon is a fully articulated baby dragon with delicate butterfly wings that actually move when you pose her, and a body that shifts colour as she catches the light.  One reviewer called her "absolutely gorgeous," and honestly, it's hard to argue. Wings that move. Her butterfly wings flex open and closed as you play with her, and every body segment clicks satisfyingly into place. She's a fidget toy disguised as something beautiful. Multiple colours and finishes. Each finish shifts differently in the light, so your butterfly dragon never quite looks the same twice. A gift that gets a reaction. Reviewers buy her for grandkids, nephews, and friends who "already have everything." One customer's granddaughter plays with...
