Common name: Firefly
Phylum: Arthropoda
Class:    Insecta
Order:    Coleoptera
As a creature of light, it should come as no surprise that the firefly is a symbol of illumination. They truly are majestic, underappreciated insects because of their ordinary, uninspiring appearance during the daytime hours. When darkness falls, fireflies turn into remarkable (and beautiful) illuminators of the night. This seeming contradiction serves as the firefly animal totem’s most fundamental symbol in the spiritual world: things are not always the way they seem.
This spiritual totem’s message dictates that we must be conscious, pay attention to intricacies, and exercise persistence if we wish to achieve success in our lives. Specifically, humans need to plan and react accordingly in order to attract desirable people, places and things throughout life. To do Magic!
