How can i make a realistic butterfly?

I am making a butterfly for a science project and i want it to look realistic. I don't know how to make the butterfly though. It needs to look good and not be made of anything too expensive. Have any ideas?|||Use iridescent and metallic silk fabric swatches to cut out small pieces to be placed as the mosiac of the wings. This will make them look more realistic.|||you can use cheap (or old -but clean) stockings, and a couple of wire coat hangers. some food coloring or water based paints... and pipe cleaners for the antennae...





use pliers to shape the hangers into butterfly wings, stretch the stocking material over them...(if you can get cheap white or colored tights it might look better)
