#scarab
Scarabs are engraved stones representing the Scarab beetle (Scarabaeus sacer), which rolls each of its eggs in a ball of mud and may be seen on sandy slopes in the hot sunshine of Egypt; rounding the pellet by pushing it backwards uphill with its hind legs, and allowing it to roll down again. The ancient Egyptian compared this living germ to the sun, which brings matter into life, and the Scarab became the symbol of creation, and sacred to their Sun-god, Khepera. It was their custom as far back as 4,600 years B.C. to bury these engraved Scarabs with their dead, and frequently one was placed in the heart itself. It was an emblem of re-creation, and symbolized this evolution of the soul through eternity.

Huevember part two!
First ten insects from Huevember!
a really cute Canthon dung beetle I found on the delmarva peninsula awhile back
(Virginia, 10/14/21)
This is the type of dung beetle found in north america that makes little balls of dung and rolls them around, and while I’ve never been lucky enough to witness that in action the beetles themselves are still pretty excellent
fun fact, some scientist think scarabs can use the constellations and position of the sun to orient themselves. I can not do this thing.
My phone broke recently and I have since been lost. lol Anyways here’s some more Mantis and Cicada.

The imagery for this piece burst out of a sudden need to explore Egyptian imagery, which I find to be incredibly magical and alluring. Not surprisingly to those of you who know me, scarab imagery resonates deeply.
The god Khepri was connected with the scarab beetle because they roll balls of dung across the sand dunes, an act that the Egyptians saw as a symbol of the forces that move the sun across the sky. Khepri was thus a solar deity. Young dung beetles, having been laid as eggs within the dung ball, emerge from it fully formed. Therefore, Khepri also represented creation and rebirth, and he was specifically connected with the rising sun and the mythical creation of the world.

An emissary of Khepri offers you the chance to start a new chapter of your story whenever you need to. The sun rises for you tomorrow, again and again.
—
Khepri is an Ancient Egyptian god of the rising sun, creation, and renewal, and is frequently depicted as a beetle. He has strong associations with rebirth as He rolls the freshly-created sun across the sky every morning.
