oh, i love that idea - a symbol for a year. butterfly's a great
  symbol. The product of metamorphasis and great expectation, all
  stemming from a garden pest which likes to eat my tomato plant's
  leaves, or the leafminers who love the leave little trails in
  the middle of my grapefuit tree's eaves... maybe I'll pick the
  Pupa - the coccoon stage of the butterfly. That's post-pest but
  yet to reach Emergence. "
