Where is it manufactured? Does it contain flame retardants? Is it made out of polyester and other synthetic materials? What is it stuffed with?

Polyester and synthetic materials. www.kidspreferred.com. Made in China. In accordance with government regulations and Toy Standard ASTM F963

Does it turn into a butterfly?

Mine turned into a moth so I got a refund.

The label says : Handwash cold water, Do not tumble dry. I have yet to wash this version of the little caterpillar but with my old version I have tossed that in the washing machine on gentle cycle and low heat dry cycle , the fabric is almost like a tye dye on the newer one. If you wash in the laundry make sure you don’t mix with whites it might stain on a first wash .

Features include toy, book and patch. Is all that actually included? Is the color more neon(due to lighting) or just bright green?

Its just the plush. The patch is the one sewn on to the the tail of the plush, The 3rd and forth picture are closer to the real thing. Plush is inspired by the book, the book is not included.
