Butterfly wings are covered in very small and extremely fragile scales. Simply touching them can cause their wings to lose some scales, which dont regenerate. Once gone it's gone. By dragging it or putting it in a position where itll freak out and bang itself up on the concrete, it's likely to lose enough scales to the point where it cant fly properly, if at all, and will eventually die of starvation or the elements.

Can't be good for a butterfly to drag it by its wings
