Symbols…
In images of the Garden of Eden, Adam’s soul is symbolized by a butterfly, or drawn with butterfly wings. 
In paintings of Mary and her Child, the presence of butterflies stands for their care for human souls.
Since the insect is so fragile it can be torn apart by a hard rain, the butterfly stands for human frailty, both moral and physical.
Also, as its life is not a long one, it is also a symbol of the ephemeral nature of physical existence.
p.s. došao je ponovo… ne znam zašto… ali ne prestajem da tragam za odgovorom…
“Every day scientists discover a vast array of creatures that have lived in natures past, but sadly there are no remains of butterflies! They are so fragile that they disappear and disintegrate after death.
The future of butterflies unfortunately, is not a bright one, their purpose in nature is to serve to transport pollen from one flower to the other searching for nectar, their food but fertilisers and different poisons for killing weeds, exterminate them. They disappear from nature or hide deep in woods…”
