Butterfly - X mirror rotates Y instead X?

Hi guys,

I purchased a rigged butterfly model and the rig’s X axis mirror on the front wings is inverted - the left wing goes up, the right one down [edit: it rotates along the Y axis instead X]. Works fine on the back wings though!

The back wings have a roll of -87° & 74. The front wings hav 113° & -87. When I try to alter the 113° bone to 74°, the bone that’s mirrored to it “jumps” to another place on the X-axis (happens with all of them)

I deleted the bone in question and symmetrized it anew. Must have been an older Blender version. Thread may be deleted.

No need to delete the thread. You posted the solution, so click the ‘tick in a box’ icon under your reply so it is marked as the solution. That helps others in the future with similar rigging issues.
