Fun fact, some Monarch Butterflies migrate and some don't. Those that don't have smaller bodies. This 7" Monarch Butterfly plush is definitely the non-migratory kind. They will never fly away on you. They enjoy hugs too much for that.
I used to be absolutely terrified of butterflies. There was one time I was walking around in a lantern festival and one flew right into my eyeball. It was weird. True story! Luckily I met the Mini Squishable Monarch Butterfly and it was like pro-butterfly therapy. I mean, I'm still not letting it anywhere near my eyeballs, but my arms? Bring it on!
