The beautiful monarch caterpillar is reproduced here as an 8 inch long sculpture that is anatomically accurate yet very slightly stylized, making it a wonderful addition in the home of any monarch enthusiast or nature lover. The sculpture is of a monarch caterpillar in its 5th instar phase of development, which is the last phase before becoming a chrysalis.
Hand made out of wood, polymer clay, and metal, it is carefully painted to match the monarch caterpillar's distinctive color pattern, using acrylic paint and finally finished with several layers of acrylic varnish. The caterpillar has a hanger underneath so it can be displayed on a wall.

Please note that though this caterpillar would look great in a kid's room, it is NOT a toy.
The caterpillar is intended to be displayed indoors, but it could be kept in a covered porch, as long as it is out of the rain or extreme elements.
