Butterflies and moths belong to the insect Order Lepidoptera, which is a word that comes from the Greek words for “scale” and “wing.” While most of the 150,000 species in this order are moths, there are an estimated 18,000 butterfly species found globally. The earliest known butterfly fossils date to the mid Eocene epoch, between 40–50 million years ago.

Butterflies and moths are indicators of a healthy environment and healthy ecosystems. They are an important element of the food chain and are prey for birds, bats and other insectivorous animals, as well as, providing a wide range of environmental benefits from pollination to natural pest control.

As masters of metamorphosis, butterflies are significant symbols of transformation, freedom, and rebirth. These winged creatures have long been viewed as otherworldly messengers and heralds of good fortune and joy.

The Nature’s Wonders Butterfly is designed to emulate many different species of butterfly and is rigged to give natural movement to the model. Included in this base set are 4 species of butterfly; the iconic Monarch and Viceroy, as well as the Western and Eastern Tiger Swallowtails. It supports Poser’s Firefly and Superfly and DAZ Studio 3Delight and Iray render engines.
