This is a remarkable article. It chronicles how damaged wildlife is being fixed with the oddest things like tape and glue. I can understand fixing a turtle shell. I can even see how they repair bird feathers. Fixing a butterfly wing is way beyond anything I thought possible.
Take a look for yourselves.

It just goes to show that we will do anything to help an animal in need. There are some creative people out there.

Repairing a butterfly win has to be the most amazing fix it job ever.
This is incredible. I have heard of and seen tortoises and turtles with repaired shells, but wing donation for butterflies is just fantastic. The egg shell repair was a brainwave on somebody's part, and replacement feathers!! Whatever next!!
Long may they keep coming up with these ideas.
I was astounded by what they were able to do It tells me that we should never give up on a damaged animal.
The egg is pretty remarkable. I can't believe it hatched.

Never underestimate tape and glue.Smiley4
