Product Description:

One of the most amazing insects on our planet, the Butterfly begins life clinging to a tree branch as a Caterpillar. After a time hibernating, they emerge from their cocoon and spread their beautiful wings to the sun. We often take these creatures for granted, but have you every stopped to amaze at the intricate shape of their wings? Their beautiful iridescent coloring?

Butterflyz gives you a bevy of beautifully rendered 3D Butterflies. Modeled after actual specimens, their textures are based on photographs of the real things! (Except for the Purple one; that I invented per my daughter's request).

You may use Butterflyz for FREE, but if you register for $5.00, you get six additional Butterflyz, the "View Desktop" mode, and the "Custom Background/Color" option!

Wow, this has great potential. I would love it if the butterflies had a little more realistic motion and animation to their wings. Also, if you could liven up the sky with perhaps real sky backgrounds that fade from one to another to give you different background effects that would be quite nice. You could also do a pan/zoom over the entire sky to give it a very nice feel that you are kind of moving your head and watching the various butterflies flitting about. You may also give the butterflies larger sizes or give them a z axis so that they increase/decrease in size based upon their position from the camera.

A screenshot would have been nice. The butterflies could be larger and less mechanical. It would be nice if the clouds looked a little more real and moved slowly across the screen. When switching back over to my Marine Aquarium screensaver, the System prefs crashed. Never had that happen before. This one goes to the trash.
