Watch a Monarch Butterfly's Amazing Wing Transplant Surgery

An injured monarch butterfly was saved by Sweetbriar Nature Center, a nature preserve in Long Island, New York, when they performed a delicate wing transplant. “When a Good Samaritan called to ask if we could help an injured monarch butterfly, we didn’t hesitate,” the post said. “Using a wing from a deceased butterfly, we carefully matched it to the broken wing and performed a delicate repair. The result? You’d never know this monarch is flying with a replacement wing.”
