Insects are a type of very small animal with six legs, a segmented body (divided into three parts) and usually has two pairs of wings. Many insects are ecologically beneficial as predators of pest insects. Insects hold diverse symbolic meanings across cultures, representing concepts like transformation, hard work, good luck, and even negativity.
Reptiles are a class of cold-blooded, air-breathing vertebrates characterized by having dry, scaly skin and usually laying eggs. Reptiles are tetrapod vertebrates, creatures that either have four limbs or, like snakes, are descended from four-limbed ancestors. Reptiles, particularly snakes, hold diverse symbolic meanings across cultures as well, often representing transformation, rebirth, and fertility, while also embodying danger and deception.
