The Junebug Project

The Jungbug

They are such unassuming little things, easily overlooked, unseen underfoot. Some of us pay them no mind other than uttering an occasional “eewwww!” when they catch our attention. But what if they were a representative of big juju, big power…even big spirituality. Would that make our encounters with them any less creepy, or frightening? We hope so.

Perhaps the most profound lesson the Junebug shares with us is the lesson of transformation and adaptation. They engage in metamorphosis for development and growth. From egg to adult, they are a marvel of transformation illustrated in a short lifetime. They go through these revolutionary transformations with aplomb, very nonchalantly and matter-of-factly. Junebugs embrace the flow of life and all its transitions without question. They embrace change.
