Drawings Featuring Butterflies - Fleeting Beauty

Due to their change from chrysalis to adult, butterflies most commonly symbolize metamorphosis, transformation, and rebirth. Their mesmerizing beauty and graceful way of flying can make for an idyllic scene, and many of us may have memories of running through fields trying to catch them. On the other hand, these ethereal winged insects are also associated with the human soul and can take on an entirely different meaning in horror settings. If you witness a lone butterfly alight on a flower near you, it could mean impending doom—that’s when you might need to consider escaping.

Today, we have a series of illustrations featuring butterflies, ranging from cheerful and peaceful to dark and melancholy. Enjoy!
