Emerald Scarab Beetle

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

 

I just found a big emerald green scarab beetle on the street outside, alive and

in good condition, yet rare as I live downtown in a big busy city..

 

any ideas if it has any K. symbolism?

 

love

Sorry I don't know the answer to your question Bruce, but how pleasant it must

have been to find this little guy!

 

Things are getting weird, I am loving everything and your beetle sounds

adorable. I have refrained from smashing ants and spiders in the house, if

someone's watching I pretend that I don't see them. LOL

 

I am heading to the woods directly after work for a solo camping trip, I am so

excited, maybe I'll find a green scarab beetle :-)

Love,

Bill

Hi Bruce,

 

I believe it was a beetle that Carl Jung found and used as a part of his

experience and explanation into cultivating his definition of Synchronicity. If

you haven't read any of his stuff, there is tons to see online about it! Have

you noticed more synchronicities? Maybe there is something to being aware of

them more for you. Or you may also want to check Animal Speak to see what

Beetles mean and see if that definition resonates with you.

Bruce,

 

Here's what Ted Andrews has to say about beetles in Animal-Speak:

 

The beetle is the most varied of the insects... as many as 280,000 kinds of

beetles.

 

In Egypt, the scarab, or sacred beetle, had great significance. The beetle would

take a piece of ox dung and shape it into a ball by rolling it from east to

west. The eggs were laid within this and then buried. After about a month, the

beetle would dig it up and push it into the water, and the young would emerge.

Because of its east to west rolling, it came to be associated with the sun and

its movement across the sky. The scarab thus came to be a symbol for solar

deities and for new life.

 

As with many insects the beetle goes through a tremendous metamorphosis from

the grub stage to the winged. Because of this, it is associated with

resurrection and change. In its winged stage, the front set of wings are

thickened into hard covers which fold and protect the soft underside. This may

indicate for those with this totem a need to be more protective, or possibly

that you are too closed off.

 

If the beetle has shown up in your life examine the need for metamorphosis. Are

you in the process? If so, what stage? Do you need a change? Are you needing new

sunshine? Is it time to resurrect some aspect of your life? Is it time to leave

the past behind? The beetle can show you how to do this with the greatest

success.

 

Hope this is relevant for you... : ) Green may indicate healing, or perhaps

growth. But go with what your intuition tells you regarding the scarab beetle

and its color. It's also of interest that you found it near your " doorstep " = an

incoming situation. Perhaps you could find a way to welcome the scarab beetle

into your home, and what it represents for you.
