Jose Maldonado, a 22-year-old bricklayer in Guadalajara, found a live fairy.

"I was picking guavas and I saw a twinkling. I thought it was a firefly. I picked it up and felt that it was moving; when I looked at it I knew that it was a fairy godmother," Maldonado said.

Sadly, it died, but he pickled it in formaldehyde and allows the curious to take a peek for a fee.
