what is a butterfly needle?

A butterfly needle is a type of IV catheter.  The needle is very small.  It kind of looks like a butterfly, because there are plastic wings that extend out from the needle.  The wings provide a flat surface for them to use to tape it down.  These are the same size needle they use in children.

It's not too late.  In swimming I had trouble with Butterfly for a long time because my arms are so much weaker than my legs.  There is a special kind of weight lifting you can do that will REALLY help your butterfly (as well as stroke power in general) and it's called a VASA bench. Butterfly was never my stroke and it was killing my IM (im a backstroker...fyi) They work miracles...the season I started doing it (Junior year of high school) I went from a 1:04 to a 57 in my 100 fly.  YOu can probably find a VASA bench at a high school with a swim team, or maybe a fitness center.  you can also buy them too, they cost around 1000 dollars.

Something like a rubber band is tied around the upper arm.  You pump your fist to bring the vein closer to the surface.  The area is cleansed.  A needle is put in which you will barely feel and which lasts all of 1 second.  After that you should feel nothing at all.  In fact - the rubber band is more uncomfortable than the needle stick.  There is honestly nothing to be afraid of - I do not like having my blood drawn but it does not hurt - other than a needle stick which hurts about as much or less than an insect bite.  Good luck.

Queen Alexandra's Birdwing is the largest butterfly in the world, with a wingspan up to 1 foot (30 cm). This tropical butterfly is from the Rainforest in northern Papua New Guinea. The caterpillars eat the pipevine plant, which contains poison; this makes the butterfly toxic to predators, which will get sick if they eat it. They quickly learn to leave these huge butterflies alone.\n\nAlso just for your edification, the smallest butterfly is the Nepticulid moth, which is 0.1 inch long.

Double pointed needles are usually used to knit tubes.  There are several different ways to do this, but the triangle and the square methods are most common.\nThe triangle requires three needles and can be found at the first site below.\nThe square method needs four needles and is at the second site (complete with pictures).\nHope this helps.

I pierced a candle with the needle and carefully placed the needle on water surface. It floated well. \n\nThis due to the surface tension effect.\n\nNext I did with another needle without wax coating. This time it floated once in many trials.\n\n\nNext I placed the needle on a piece of blotting paper and placed it on the surface of water. The blotting paper in few seconds went inside leaving the needle floating.

Usually the longest needle used is 1 1/2". The longer needles are used for getting to an area that is farther below the skin, like a deep vein or such.\n\nAs far as needles for lumbar punctures or bone marrow testing, they are probably longer.\n\nAn amniocentesis needle can be anywhere from 4-6" long.
