Monarch Butterfly???? Help!!!?

Question

How can i fix a monarch butterfly's wings (make them straight) if they never were? they dried in a curl fashion.

Answer 1

Unfortunately you can't fix them. Once the wings have dried that's it.

Sorry. :(

Answer 2

Since they can't be straightened...call it a Curly Winged Monarch.

Answer 3

Just like there are human defects that we can never correct, there are defects in insects that can not be corrected.  Butterflies expand their wings with their blood supply while they are still soft.  Once they dry nothing can be done.  It likely had a defect that did not allow the blood to reach the farthest of its wings.  If it can fly, let it go.  If it can not you could extend its life by feeding sugar water (4 parts water to 1 part sugar).

Answer 4

not sure you can do anything as the wings unfurl with blood supply
