I have had two butterflies hatch this week with wings that simply wouldn’t open properly. The first both wings remained quite wrinkled, the butterfly could crawl but not fly. I eventually put it out on a cosmos flower next to a swan plant and let nature take its course. Today another had one wing which wouldn’t open properly but it seemed stronger. Again I put it outside and just hope that it could pump fluid into the still curved wing. I caught a praying mantis devouring a caterpillar on a swan plant and note that the wasps that attack our lovely monarchs are active again. I think I have another chrysallis that might not hatch or may produce another deformed butterfly. Any advice as to how to help these creatures is welcome.
