What about all the scales on the wings? Would the weight of glue be too heavy? I don’t think it would work unfortunately. Poor butterfly 🦋

Contrary to popular belief, butterflies do not need the scales on their wings to be able to fly. The glue weight was not too heavy :)

The only thing the butterfly can do is fly downwards slowly in a way it looks like it is flying forwards and it will not find love bc butterflies pick the male it wants to be but if it’s a female it is fine I’d F it’s a male it will die alone as the female will pick the male if he is pretty if not she will fly away

It is a male and yes probably was not able to mate again but it had already lived a good life and was given a few more days! (they only live a few weeks)

THE GLUE WILL NOT HOLD FOR LONG SO THE BUTTERFLY WILL DIE ANYWAY!!!! OR THE WING WILL GET TO HEAVY FOR IT TO WORK IN THE LONG RUN IF IT STAYS ON BECAUSE YOU ADDED WEIGHT TO ITS ONE WING BY USING GLUE !!!!!!! EITHER WAY ITS DOOMED !!!!
@Butterflying_with_James2 ай бұрын
The glue actually holds surprisingly well :) and is so little that it does not weigh down the wing either. Butterflies only live for about two weeks anyway generally, so this transplant gave this butterfly a few extra days of life when it would have otherwise died very soon. God bless and have a good day

Man, what a great video. Music too. I was wondering, I thought butterflies had a thin coating of some kind of dust on their wings, that was super fragile and necessary for them to fly. Are these some kind of heavy duty butterflies without that?
@Butterflying_with_James6 ай бұрын
Thank you so much! Yes butterflies do have scales on their wings, which seems like a dusty substance. It is , however, not necessary for them to fly. That is a common misconception. The scales give the wings their colours, and are on a clear membrane underneath. In some butterflies the membrane doesn't have many scales on it and the wings are transparent! Maybe I should do a video explaining this sometime!

This is great! What kind of glue do you use? I am thinking of doing something like this just a lot smaller to cover a bee's butt after it lost its spike.
@Butterflying_with_James6 ай бұрын
Thank you! I used a contact adhesive. That sounds cool, although the bee will likely have suffered irreparable damage if it has lots its spike so I don't think sticking it back on will help sadly
@katharinamuller2406 ай бұрын
@@Butterflying_with_James The interesting thing is that if a seemingly dead bee has a certain weigth (certain amount of fluid inside the body is left), you can revive it by regularly breathing at it (like CPR). Just hold it gently by the wings an breath in its direction from maybe 20 cm away. If there's enough body fluid left, one of the legs will start twitching and after that all of them will move and the bee will come alive (no kidding). I did that when I was little after seeing a TV show about first aid and wondering why we don't do this for insects. Imaging my surprise when it actually worked (again, I'm not kidding)! Unfortunately, I didn't think about the missing stinger so I just left the bee alone after reviving it. Today, I suppose it must have actually died afterwards because of the whole in their body and the evaporation of body fluid. I mention this because this method worked more than once but not for every bee. The ones with less weight (I suppose more loss of body fluids) didn't come back. So I wondered if keeping the whole left by the lost stinger closed maybe the bee would stay alive but I suppose there are inner organs that are damaged after the bee loses it's sting.
