I saw this fluttering butterfly at the dentist office a couple of years ago. I thought it was so wonderful and found one on the internet. The first summer I didn't put it out much because I thought it was fragile. But this year I discovered some fun things. First of all it's solar powered so it only flaps when the sun is shining on the wing shaped solar panels. It has blown off, but it's nothing more than a vinyl butter fly on a wire which is connected to a wheel. The sun causes the wheel to spin really fast, which makes the butterfly flutter. Pretty fun. We've enjoyed it a lot this year.
