Butterfly!Butterfly!Butterfly!


i love butterflies! just today i was at the front house, and was so amaze with what i saw on every flower, butterflies! wow! they flies and sucks nectar.It is so lovely how they have that unique pigment of their wings.Every design of its colorful wings is so pleasing to my eyes...
In the western world, the symbol of the butterfly stands for freedom, fun, joyous times, naturalness and purity. The Greeks likened the butterfly’s constant flitting from flower to flower to the restlessness of the mind: constantly changing from subject to subject. Indeed, the Greek word for butterfly is ‘psyche’ from where we get our word ‘psychology’ – the study of the mind.

The change from caterpillar though to the chrysalis and emergence as a butterfly is the greatest change in the animal world. It symbolizes significant change in the course of one’s life, personality or way of thinking.

The caterpillar stage with its voracious appetite has been linked to insatiable materialism. The chrysalis stage represents fundamental changes occurring on the inside, for example in one’s mentality or point of view. The final adult butterfly stage is seen as the free expression of these changes in the outside world.
