I love the bee also. Every year my students complete an insect unit. I have a beekeeper come in and explain what he does and show them all of his equipment. It's always a big hit.
I have two favorites the bee of course it symbolizes the renewal of life and it does so happily....lol and the lighting bug I think its truly kewl how one of GOD's lil creatures can have its own little night lite and share it
I would have to say butterfly as that is the only insect tattooed on my body. The transformation they go through is similar to the changes and alterations us as people go through in life.
