Butterfly wings are broken, but after the surgery can fly again, how come??

How could that be? Though the butterfly wings are thin, fragile, and easily destroyed.

Butterflies are fragile little animals. Beautiful wings will be easily destroyed if exposed to friction or impact. If the wings are destroyed automatically will not be able to fly again.
The survival of the butterfly was very short. They can only survive from 2 weeks to 5 months. But who would have thought, other than cats and dogs or other pets, there are still some who care and love this nectar-consuming insects.
It was Romy McCloskey, a girl who was fond of collecting flowers in her house just to keep a lot of butterflies coming. Apparently Romy had received a message from his mother before he died.
"Romy, if you see butterflies, you know that means you're there with you," Romy said in an interview some time ago.
Not only love, he can also take care of the insects. Remarkably he can perform surgery when finding butterflies whose wings are broken. Awesome!!
Then how can Romy operate on small animals like butterflies that have brittle wings? Well, here's how ..

  1. It is a three-day-old butterfly that he finds in his broken wing in his yard.

  2. Equipment operation is very simple, just need a towel for the base, small scissors, wire hanger and the most important is the replacement wings obtained from other butterflies that have died.

  3. This hanger is useful for securing the body of butterflies to avoid cutting scissors.

  4. After cutting out the crushed wing, then attach the new wing.

  5. The result will be like this.

  6. This patient should rest overnight before being released on the following day. Then if this butterfly can still fly?

Wow 😮 I love butterflies 🦋 and I have seen so many with damaged wings yet they still manage to fly. I suppose this surgery is best left to the experts. I would never attempt this since I would be afraid to hurt the butterfly further. I am curious though, what type of bonding material was used for it?

Interesting post 💗🦋

Great, you must be a gentle person. I also do not know what kind of material, which you can certainly more clearly see it in the picture.
