physical representation of transformation but then there can also be the spiritual representation of transformation and in my life they have popped up when spiritually things were changing um so I also wrote down you know shitty situations so maybe you know you’ll notice flies are like flying around you and you’re around a group of people and the environment is really harsh you don’t feel comfortable or there’s things going on that you don’t quite understand behind your back you don’t feel like you can trust these people right untrustworthy people they can also pop up you know when strength is required right so it could just literally be your ancestors trying to warn you of something right like look at the situation you know look at the situation notice what’s going on almost kind of like a a warning sign in a way then I’ve also it made me think of while I was writing the notes down how if they like they’ll come around transformational decomposing situations right and it makes me think of like how their black bugs.
Spirit Guide
In some indigenous cultures, insects are seen as spirit guides or messengers from the otherworld.
A lanternfly encounter could be seen as a message from your ancestors, spirit guides, or the natural world itself.
Pay attention to the context and emotions surrounding the encounter, as they might hold clues to the specific message being conveyed.
it makes me think of like black of just like a a you know like a funeral black like it’s almost like that trans a transformational moment you know what I mean so I think it’s just really interesting how it can parallel spiritually to what’s going on physically as well you know I’m just thinking like if a bunch of flies are are gathering around something that’s passing away or like a something right and then it’s almost the way that like humans will do the same thing we wear black and we all gather for somebody and so it’s just interesting um yeah so it can also represent adversity and Chaos too so look out for them right look out for them notice when you see them it can also represent distractions so you know how flies are annoying as hell right like when you don’t know where one is but you hear it and it’s buzzing around you and it’s distracting you’re like where is that damn fly but you can’t find it right that it can also represent distractions.
Test of Patience
Lanternflies can be quite persistent, often returning to the same sap source even after being swatted away.
This behavior could be interpreted as a test of your own patience and focus. Are you able to stay calm and persistent in the face of challenges, or do you get easily frustrated and give up?
The lanternfly might be challenging you to cultivate inner peace and unwavering determination.
so that is another way that a fly could pop up to give you a little tea right then also magic related flies apparently now this is new to me this is new to me I didn’t know this but people can use flies as spells to spy on somebody so sending flies as a way to spy right and so like I’ve learned to just appreciate them because it’s just like if you don’t you know just appreciate them for what they do you know like make space for everything that exists and appreciate them.
Cleansing
The act of shedding their exoskeletons as they grow could symbolize personal transformation, releasing outdated ideas, and shedding old habits or limitations.
Encountering a lanternfly might be a reminder to let go of what no longer serves you and embrace new possibilities.
when you don’t that’s when you usually have to come in contact with them more when you don’t appreciate things right is when then they show up more and more in your life so you know they they they serve their purpose and we have to just learn to appreciate them for what they serve their purpose for but you know when you think of the saying fly on the wall right like somebody peeping something there you don’t even notice it’s there but it’s there and it’s picking up information.
Potential
The lanternfly’s vibrant colors and unique wing patterns might represent hidden creativity or untapped potential within you.
It could be a nudge to explore your artistic side, express yourself boldly, and tap into your unique talents and gifts.
Don’t be afraid to shine your light and share your creative spirit with the world.
if you do certain spells I don’t do these things so I don’t know exactly what spell that would be but if you do that I guess it’s like this flies will go around people and then you can like spiritually pick up that information now be cautious with that I feel like I have to give a disclaimer be cautious with that because I feel like I don’t know don’t just be spying on folk or it’s like the most highest gonna send you back a bunch of flies it’s about to be a fly catastrophe in your bedroom you know like I just feel like don’t abuse it but I guess that that’s something that people do use them as like little peeping Toms if you will to gather information so that’s interesting.
Connection to the Element of Fire
The lanternfly’s red wings and association with sap, sometimes seen as a life force, might connect it to the element of fire.
This could symbolize passion, transformation, purification, or even illumination.
It might be a call to ignite your inner fire, pursue your passions, and bring heat and vitality into your life.
I just want to talk about the book Lord of the Flies right you may have read it like in Middle School where you know it’s it’s the the young boys they get stranded on an island and then um they have to kind of fend for themselves because there’s no adults there and so they have to like create their own order, of what they’re gonna do how they’re going to survive right and they go through an extremely chaotic period where it’s like um you know they they try to start out very civilized as civilized as they can and then it grows and grows and grows into this disastrous situation where they have to fend for themselves they’re fighting against each other right trying to find order and balance where there really is none and um I just think it’s interesting it’s called Lord of the Flies.
Transformation
The striking transformation of a lanternfly from nymph to winged adult could symbolize personal transformation, metamorphosis, or stepping into a new phase of life.
Its vibrant colors and unique form might inspire creativity, self-expression, and embracing your true colors.
Lord of of the extremely transformational crazy experience that these young boys go through and so you know that’s the symbolism of flies and I can tell you like one experience I have with flies that was really funny is like when I was in college I was living in an apartment with some friends right and I don’t think any of us really like this damn apartment I’ll keep it 100 I don’t think any of us liked it um we are kind of like I don’t know it was just like awkward I feel like it was tension between us but it was also just kind of like not the most ideal you know how it is in college right like things aren’t clean we had just graduated some of us it was just like you know how it is when you’re living whatever so as I’m leaving all these flies like as we’re moving out all of these flies just start like flying all around the apartment and like at like in the kitchen especially but it was like they were coming from the ceiling but then they were going into my bedroom going to like my friend’s bedrooms.
Resilience
Lanternflies’ journey from vulnerable nymphs to adaptable adults, overcoming environmental challenges and predators, could represent human resilience in the face of difficulties.
It might encourage you to be resourceful, find solutions, and persevere through challenges.
ready to move out one of my roommates had already moved out we kind of had like an awkward experience when we decided we were gonna move out like you know one person she wanted to move out immediately we didn’t know we weren’t really ready to go so it was kind of this awkward tension but then we decided you know f it we’re just gonna go because we’re not really that happy here anyways right but then so all these flies.
Interconnectedness
Lanternflies’ reliance on sap from diverse trees highlights the interconnectedness of the natural world and the importance of balance within ecosystems.
It could be a reminder of your connection to all living things and the need to strive for harmony within your own life and community.
gross to me and my ass is trying to spray them down with with like cleansing spray right because I’m like I hate these so I’m trying to spray them down kill them all when I tell you they were not dying they would not like I if you got one and you killed it three more come in somewhere and so what’s crazy though isn’t after I left and came moved to another place a new painful transformational period happened right after that so it almost was like they were telling me like you’re focused on moving and doing this but like we’re letting you know that what you’re getting ready to move into is gonna shock you in a whole different way right and it could have even you know I feel like sometimes flies can come to Humble I read that it can be like a humbling experience.
Prosperity
In some cultures, insects are seen as symbols of abundance and prosperity.
Encountering a lanternfly might be interpreted as a positive omen, signifying potential growth, financial success, or a period of fruitful experiences.
I’m like I got this I’m doing this and then it was kind of like and no you’re going back home and when I got back home like I had a whole new kind of breakdown of self that you know really shook me in a whole different way so I felt like they were kind of giving me a heads up of what was already kind of happening where I was but then also what to prepare for where I was going you know what I mean and you know I can think of a couple other experience I’ve had with flies but I I’m not going to share them right now but you know it’s just interesting it’s interesting so look for animals and bugs and see like when they pop up in your life and what they may be trying to tell you because it could they they I feel like it’s not coincidental when you see these things it’s really not coincidental like we think it is but I feel like there there’s a message most of the time you know so yeah that’s just what I want to share it’s just a quick little video about flies I might do some more animal symbolism videos because I see I notice like for me they definitely pop up and give me messages.
