[@xBaconator9000x]

I imagine it had so much trouble with the prosthetic, not because of its lack of strength, but because the feather was completely different aerodynamically and wasn't able to move in the same way a natural wing would. But it did it! Eventually it learnt to compensate and I think that's incredible.

[@hotspringroll]

If you search how to repair butterfly wing there’s an video of someone showing how it’s done

[@silverleaf15]

I bet the stem of the feather made the right side of the wing much heavier than the left. He was probably trying to adjust flying with more weight on one side rather than being symmetrically balanced. I’m glad he was able to master flight again in the end.

[@Kaia6485]

Exactly what I was thinking, there is going to be a weight difference. Just shows you how much any life form fights to keep going and overcome obstacles. Bless this woman for giving the butterfly a second chance.

[@TheHothotheatlive]

@@polloduh that's what someone did in another youtube video

[@spacecowboy7148]

She did clip the stem off, it was just the weight of the feather. A butterfly's wing is a lot lighter than that and the poor guy drowned in that weight and kept tipping over in the beginning.

[@crittertails7536]

@@polloduh Good idea. But I think the wing of a dead butterfly would be dried out, fragile, and brittle. Likely easy to break.

Not for this one, I don't expect him to last long. As a butterfly rearer, I would have humanely euthanised this one, because that deformity looks like Ophryocystis elektroscirrha. OE is a protozoan infection that causes weakness and deformity in step with protozoal load. The problem with wing replacing and releasing this butterfly is that it will now spread OE over caterpillar food sources and cause even worse load in them, or introduce OE to areas where it didn't exist before. Really sad, but releasing him was not the right decision for the local population.

This is awesome evidence to show learning in insects. He was clearly learning through trial and error how to fly with his prosthetic wing, and altering his style to try new techniques. This requires complex thought and memory. He could not figure out how to do this through "pre-preprogrammed" instinct as he had to figure out a new technique with which he could fly with as prosthetic. So cool that this process was documented, would love to see research on insect learning observing similar things.

As extraordinary as the woman being prepared - and able - to repair a butterfly wing with a prosthetic was the fact that the butterfly learned to fly with it. Although feathers and butterfly scales are both made of chitin (the same as our fingernails), butterfly wings are way thinner, and the scales can be accidentally rubbed off by handling, sufficiently to impair flying. The prosthetic wing must have been considerably heavier (in relative terms) and thus the insect would have had to completely relearn how to fly - something that was instinctive - with this new imbalance. In addition, the forewing, like all the wings, has a network of microscopic veins fed through a single vein where the wing attaches. These were obviously severed, so the butterfly also has to learn how to flap that one forewing minus the control and sensory feedback that would have allowed it to fly. That a butterfly even has that capability for such rehabilitation is qute astonishing to me.

I did something similar to a butterfly when I was young in elementary school. We found a butterfly on the playground during recess and the top part of his wing, the same part that was damaged on this butterfly, was snapped in half. I raised many monarch caterpillars from eggs to butterflies and it kinda hit home for me. I found the kids who always liked to catch bugs, they had a bug cage. We took him inside and it became our goal to help this butterfly (to the teachers’ dismay) we eventually ended up doing something similar to what this lady did to keep his wing together. We gave him fresh flowers and had him fly some test flights and he seemed to do well, so we let him go. Our method seemed to work because he flew off. I think the teachers were prepared to tell us the butterfly wouldn’t make it but surprised when it took off from my hand. Best memory from elementary school.
