Of course, the glue holding the legs to the strip are stronger than the mechanism holding the wings on, so you have to dissolve the glue to some degree first. The best solvent for diluting the holding power of the glue is found in spray insecticides. Just spray a little on and behold the legs can be pulled free. See.... How easy is that?
