2 / 4   Romy gathered some “surgery instruments”－including a towel, wire, a hanger, contact cement, a toothpick, some cotton swabs, scissors, tweezers and talcum powder－after receiving a guide for fixing butterfly wings from one of her friends. /VCG Photo

Next, Romy glued part of the transplanted wing in place with the contact cement and let it dry. At the end of the surgery, Romy pressed the wings again and ensured that they were straight. /VCG Photo
