The common buckeye butterfly has long been a symbol of good luck, transformation, and renewal in many cultures around the world. On the humble wings of the common Buckeye butterfly there is a beautiful spiritual message, reminding us that transformation and beauty can be found in unexpected places. They represent determination and survival against all odds, just like overcoming struggles in our own lives.

In the Lakota tribe, the butterfly is tied to a legend of a young girl who transformed into a butterfly to escape a life-threatening situation. The Common Buckeye Butterfly serves as a reminder to embrace change and find beauty in all stages of life.

It is also a well-known symbol in Christianity, representing hope, resurrection, and transformation. This winged creature is said to embody the journey of the soul as it undergoes the process of metamorphosis, emerging from its chrysalis as a new and vibrant creature.

Unfortunately, this species has seen a decline due to human changes and water scarcity.
