Symbolic system

Color or wound — Surface detail on insect adds emotion layer. Return visit — Same insect again marks recurring theme. Size shift — Tiny or giant insect calibrates vulnerability. Human touch — Pet, hit, feed, or flee marks your stance. Habitat — Forest, home, water, or road changes wild vs domestic read.

Cultural and classical interpretation
