I found this pretty little butterfly among a group of its swarming friends. All of them were flying around merrily and were very active, except this one which sat on a lower branch. When I took a closer look I found that it was wounded. I am not sure how it happened. But it was really sad to see how hurt it was...

Yes Namitha, thank you.
Yeah you are right Joseph, there could definitely be some better ideas. I also hope we will find some, more authentic ways/remedies :)
Thank you Namitha. :))

That's a good thing to know. Honey and diluted sugar water. But there could be more better and accurate remedies in the developed countries.
soliciting readers comments and suggestions. :))
Hi Chief, It tried giving it a drop of sugar solution. A friend of mine told me that butterflies which are injured can be cured by giving slightly diluted honey.
But, in this case it was hurt beyond recovery. I think, in cases like this we can't really do much to help. With a really short lifespan they are very vulnerable. Thank you very much for the concern.
In such cases can we treat a butterfly?
How can we save its life or cure it?
