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?

why bother can it fly while wet?

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.
@sonnymunroe88Ай бұрын
What kind of glue is that?
@Butterflying_with_JamesАй бұрын
It is a contact adhesive:)

GoldenShrike is soooo right thanks. I see you were working with a lime butterfly and i have a dead one here to what i think is preserved. Thank you for giving it another chance to live
@Butterflying_with_James3 ай бұрын
Yes it is a Citrus Swallowtail (Papilio demodocus), which is very similar to the Lime butterfly (Papilio demoleus) :) I am glad you enjoyed!

I live in central Florida, and everyone here has pentas. The deep red ones are my favorites, but I haven't been very good about pruning them, so thanks for the information. The butterflies that visit my garden have a firm favorite and that is buddleia, or butterfly bush. I just got my first plants this fall, and the butterflies fight over them! Even though it's January they are still blooming (we haven't had a freeze yet), and I keep them deadheaded to make sure we have plenty of flowerpannicles for our insect guests!

Don't hold her wings very hard, you removing the scales
@Butterflying_with_James4 ай бұрын
Yes you have to be gentle holding the wings not to damage them😄 However, it is the membranes of the wings that are important. A butterfly can lose its scales and carry on flying as normal, contrary to popular belief.

The destruction of the trees is tragic but people in the rural areas need alternative fuel. Until there are alternatives the tree chopping will continue.
@Butterflying_with_James8 ай бұрын
Yes that is true. Rocket stoves are one way to make cooking more fuel-efficient. This video, however, showed an area not where people were simply chopping wood for themselves, but where there was large-scale chopping with trucks being loaded up with wood for commercial sale.

Nice work James, your butterfly plants in our gardens are thriving and starting to bring results, dozens of Monarchs raised our side last year and this year looks to be even better. Keep going bud. Zim will still be here when you are done, get stuck in over there whilst you have the chance...

I just saw a post on ig on how a woman did a wing transplant on a butterfly and I was so curious on how she did it. I’m not sure if she did it specifically like this but I appreciate what you’re doing. It’s so sweet, and now the butterfly can live without the burden of having a broken wing not being able fly😭🫶🏾

wont the glue weigh the butterfly down and all the touching will hurt the nerves in its wings???
@Butterflying_with_James10 ай бұрын
The glue may have some effect, but it is necessary. The butterfly could fly fine with a small (negligible) bit of glue, but could not fly at all before. Butterflies do not have nerves in their wings, but yes you do still have to be gentle handling them so as not to damage the delicate wing membrane further.
