Insect Symbolism in the Garden
One of my favorites, the hummingbird, symbolizes timeless joy and the nectar of life. It’s a symbol for accomplishing that which seems impossible and will teach you how to find the miracle of joyful living from your own life circumstances. They teach us about self discovery and healing.
A butterfly symbolizes long life in the Chinese culture. In Japan, they symbolize marital bliss. We are all small and appear to the same, like the caterpillar, but as we grow older, our true beauty shows. Traditionally, the butterfly symbolizes the metamorphosis of our soul.
The dragonfly symbolizes the two realms, starting with water and moving to the air with maturity. The are often depicted representing new light and joy as we let go of past illusions that limit our growing and changing.
Frogs mean good fortune, happiness and great friendships. They teach a connection with the earth and everything on it and the magic and beauty behind it all. Because of its famous croaking voice, it can also teach how to use your voice to stir emotions. In some cultures though, the frog/toad represents evil spirits.
