00:00Her wing was broken, and I was worried because we've never performed a surgery on a butterfly before.
00:06They only live for two weeks, but I wanted to try my hardest to save it and give it a nice two weeks of life.
00:12Oh, see, she doesn't want to die.
00:14I did my research, and I realized that somebody has done that before.
00:17So I went and got my husband and came out with a plan.
00:20I found another dead butterfly before, and I kept her in, like, a little shadow box instead of throwing her away.
00:25So we decided maybe we could use her wing to save this butterfly.
00:30The biggest fear was causing her pain, but when I figured out that they didn't have pain receptors in their wings, I knew that that wasn't possible.
00:37They can't feel pain, so don't be scared.
00:40I was worrying about her moving underneath the tweezer and harming her wing even more,
00:45but I felt the possible outcome of her being happy and healthy would be worth it.
00:50Oh, my gosh, it looks like it's going to hurt.
00:53It hurts.
00:56In that moment, I felt even if she got to do that for 24 hours,
01:00she still got to do that for 24 hours.
01:08Go, girl!
01:09Oh, my God, stop.
01:11I'm very excited to let people know that you can do something like that with a butterfly,
01:14and she can survive, and they can be okay.
01:17He saved her life for real.
01:23Her wings are forming.
01:24Oh, my God.
01:26Oh, my God.
01:26Oh, my God.
01:26Oh, my God.
01:26Oh, my God.
01:26Oh, my God.
01:26Oh, my God.
01:27Oh, my God.

01:38Oh, my God.
01:38Oh, my God.
01:39Oh, my God.
