winged ones
i love butterflies. as an ancient symbol for one's soul, butterflies, in my eyes, become all the more beautiful. they represent the evanescence of one's life, since the lifespan of these creatures is only less than a year. but even in the short span of their lives, they manage to exude beauty and contribute something to nature (much like the ideal way to spend one's life while still on earth).
these winged ones rank second in my favorite critters list (frogs still rank first).
butterflies grace the air with their color and beauty, and they help plants by being agents of pollination.
it is known that butterflies congregate where the flowers that they feed on are in abundance.
