Fly Fishing Gear

How do you repair a bent butterfly wing?

We had 8 butterflies hatch, but one now has a bent wing and can't fly. It is a monarch butterfly. How can I help it?
Now that section of the wing has come off.

Unfortunately there is nothing you can do. Once the exoskeleton and wings have dried, that's the way they will remain. Since the wing has come off, the most humane thing to do is euthanize by freezing. (Sounds harsh I know, but for insects, it just slows down their metabolism until they die. Quickly I might add.)

If you are breeding Monarchs, it shouldn't effect that aspect at all.

p.s. If you raise them again, be sure to have something vertical in the cage, that they can climb onto if they fall from the chrysalis. (ie: flat thin cork bark)
