A monarch butterfly with damaged wing was given new lease of life through wing transplant at a wildlife rehabilitation centre in New York. Janine Bendicksen, centre's director, used contact cement, toothpick and corn starch to transplant wing from a dead butterfly. Bendicksen noted that butterflies have no nerve receptors or blood flow at their wings' ends, which made transplant possible.
