Butterflies have been considered symbols of change, beauty and freedom in many cultures around the world. The life cycle of butterflies extends from caterpillar to cocoon and finally to the emergence of an elegant butterfly. This process symbolizes transformations and rebirth in human life. In ancient Greece, the butterfly was identified with the word "psyche", meaning soul, representing the immortality and rebirth of the soul. In Aztec and Mayan cultures, butterflies were considered symbols of the souls of soldiers who died in war. In these cultures, butterflies were seen as a part of both life and death, symbolizing that life continues after death. The seasonal migrations of butterflies, as part of this symbolism, represent the cyclical nature of life and its constant change.
