We’ve shown you “robotic” butterflies before, but this one you can actually buy soon. The ChouChou looks a lot like the real thing, and it moves realistically, too. All you need to do is to tap the jar’s lid to make it start moving. Just have a look at the videos embedded below to see how it works.
Here’s a video shot by CScout Japan (at the Tokyo Toy Show 2010):

The ChouChou will be released in Japan in September. For everyone living outside this country, the Japan Trend Shop just listed the butterfly for $76.
