Nino is a shy beetle, which inhabits the mountainous tropical rainforests all over South America near the Andes. Nino has a bright red shell, making it difficult for him to hide, so, when Nino is spotted, it jumps really high. One of Nino’s favorite activities is to help pollinate plants, just like bees do.
To make Nino hop, press it down on a smooth, clean surface until the suction cup on the bottom attaches. Wait a few seconds, and, as the suction cup releases, Nino jumps up! One trick is look at Nino with the corner of your eye, then, when it jumps, grab it, and give Nino a big hug, but make sure you stay away from Nino’s trajectory as it jumps, catch it as it falls!
Enjoy!
