Butterfly Trapped in a Filet Netting

The symbol for transition or resurrection or re-birth, is the butterfly. Theses colorful creatures are inspirational and uplifting. They represent the evolution of the soul and exude freedom. If you are choosing a new path of destiny, the butterfly is a powerful animal totem.
I like using the extended double crochet stitch in my filet work. It gives me a more square piece.

Bee trapped in filet crochet

 
Bees are flying insects closely related to wasps and ants. Bees are known for their role in pollination and for producing honey and beeswax. Bees are essential for crops. Bees feed on nectar from flowers and often form large social colonies. And where would the birds be without them???

Here is a single bee trapped in a filet netting. The project will work up fast! It's only 25x25 spaces.
