Radiation from Fukushima power plant meltdown 'triggers genetic mutations in butterflies'
•Abnormal wings and antennae found in Japan's insects
•Genetic damage 'can be passed down generations'

•Defect rate as high as 52 per cent in some offspring
Butterflies in Japan are suffering from 'serious abnormality' following the radioactive fallout after the Fukushima nuclear disaster.


Scientists found unusually small wings and mutations in the legs and antennae of insects collected in May last year, two months after the earthquake and subsequent tsunami struck.


The radiation exposure harmed their genes and the damage could be passed on to future generations, according the journal Scientific Reports.
