The lady who posted that picture said the wings had completely dried and that the butterfly was "properly handled" - whatever that means. I just don't think grabbing it with both hands is necessary if you know what you're doing.
In happier news, I released a Polydamas this morning. I'm not entirely sure why they're not overwintering like usual. I keep them in my house but that's never confused them before. It's honestly a little weird. And Polydamas are more tropical so they're usually the last ones to emerge in the spring. I took pictures but I haven't uploaded them yet. Maybe when I feel like getting off the couch. My dad and brother went hunting last week and all they brought back was a cold that they have now passed on to me. I already told my boss I won't be making it to MOSI tomorrow. It hurts to talk and I just feel all-around awful.
