Butterfly - any of numerous slender-bodied diurnal lepidopteran insects including one superfamily (Papilionoidea) with broad often brightly colored wings and usually another superfamily comprising the skippers (see Merriem-Webster for further description).
"B" is for butterfly.
My preschooler is learning about the letter 'B' & for some reason (I'm still trying to decode this one) it seems as if butterflies are trying to tell me something. It started when I planned a birthday party using butterflies as the starting point. Butterflies weren't the theme but that's where I started. Ever since then, they are everywhere. I can't get away from them. I look up and see a butterfly. I turn the page, another butterfly. I kiss my daughter, she says, "butterflies!" I blindly pull out pajamas for the wee one. Butterfly print! While doing lesson plans for my first grader this week, I came across two different butterfly references from two different publishers. Science highlighted the life cycle & migration of a butterfly while the reading comprehension lesson detailed nothing other than those same slender bodied insects. So I don't really think the butterflies themselves are trying to communicate something to me. I think my Creator is trying to convey something and right now the symbol He's using is butterflies. It's the glory of God to hide a matter and the glory of kings to search it out. Consider me a 'king'.
