A master embroiderer employed her skills to mend the broken wing of a Monarch butterfly and shared the results online.

Costume designer Romy McCloskey, from Texas, who started caring for caterpillars this past autumn after finding a number in her backyard, said she wanted to upload instructions of the procedure so others could help the majestic insects.

McCloskey said she recently found a three-day-old Monarch with a badly damaged wing, suffering the injury while in the pupating phase of its development, the final stage before an adult butterfly emerges from the chrysalis.

Most butterflies rely on wing symmetry to aid in their flight, and with a lifespan of just two-to-six weeks, this Monarch had little chance of survival.

Determined to help the broken bug, McCloskey thought she was up to the task after watching an instructional video on the procedure.

McCloskey grabbed few utensils, including a 'a towel, scissors, tweezers, talc, contact cement, toothpick' before sending the patient to the 'operating room'

'I figured, since I do so much designing, cutting, and putting together of costumes… I could give this a go,' she told mymodernmet.com.

So McCloskey grabbed few utensils, including a 'a towel, scissors, tweezers, talc, contact cement, toothpick' before sending the patient to the 'operating room.'

McCloskey goes on to secure the Monarch with a bent wire hanger, cutting away the damaged pieces, which she says is 'like trimming hair or nails' and causes no pain to the butterfly.

After applying the wing from a dead butterfly she had found the week before McCloskey shows the Monarch almost as good as new.

'A quick spin around the backyard, then a little rest on one of the bushes… and then off he flew!' the designer said. 'My heart soared with him, for sure!'

McCloskey said that she hopes the instructions will encourage others to help injured butterflies, but warns 'that you have a steady hand or you could cause more harm than good.
