Zoo volunteer gives a deformed butterfly a wing transplant to help it fly again

This is the amazing moment a wildlife volunteer was able to save the life of a fragile butterfly - by carrying out an intricate wing transplant.

Katie VanBlaricum, 36, noticed a Monarch butterfly with a piece of its wing missing while working at her local zoo. She immediately decided to try and repair the damaged wing fearing that without the insect would be put down.
