Regina Konstantinova — Now that fidget spinners are literally everywhere, Russian artist Anatoly Konenko from Omsk has recently created one for… an insect! The tiny toy was made at the request of his 6-year-old granddaughter, Konenko told Sputnik. The girl had her own spinner and asked if her skillful grandpa could do one for a butterfly, so he promised to try.
A three-petalled miniature spinner is difficult to see with the naked eye. "The toy for a butterfly" weighs 0.31 grams and is 8 mm (0.31 inches) in diameter. "It took about a week to create the spinner. To date, it is the smallest functioning miniature spinner in the world," Konenko said.
Konenko also hit the headlines of the global news outlets after he created the smallest aquarium with real fish. It is just 30 mm wide, 24 mm high and 14 mm deep — enough to hold just 10 ml of water.
