Collaborate with the World of Insects
The spokesperson of the insect world is a dragonfly!
May is a month when nature awakens after a long winter and roller coaster temperatures of April. The sun warms our hearts and bodies. The latter wakes up, stretches after a winter rest. Slowly, it starts to feel like moving again. We put away the winter items, clean the house, and prepare the outside life for the summer season. We are busy raking the lawn, preparing the flower beds, weeding. We enjoy walking with our canine, feline and even winged animal companions! Yes, I saw a teenager walking with her bird, an inseparable, on her shoulder!
In May we bring out the outdoor furniture, the colorful decorations. Bikes, scooters, and skateboards emerge from their hibernation. The strollers are back in the parks. We think about our seedlings. Towards the end of May, we look forward to playing in the earth, planting our flowers, and seeding our vegetable gardens.
This time of year is also when some insects awaken and other species are born. There are many kinds of insects, some better known or appreciated than others.
I am best known as a communicator with animals, an intermediary between the animal world and humans. Last year, during the animal communication group sessions, some participants asked insects questions. It was fun for me, and I enjoyed the experience. It made me want to invite the insects to share with me for this post. I was very surprised to learn that insects converse with each other. The ones I communicated with even referenced my communications last fall with bees, compost worms, and ants! It is my pleasure to share our conversation with you. Below, I've posted excerpts from my communications with bees and worms. As for ants, I did not write a post about them, but I did an animal communication for a friend whose house was being invaded by them. I was able to help get the ants out of the house without this friend needing to annihilate them.
Conversation with the insect world (by animal communication)
After a short meditation, with my eyes closed, I call the insect world to communicate with me. Immediately, thanks to my third eye, I see spiders, ants, dragonflies, mosquitoes, ladybugs, wasps, horseflies, and bees arrive. Then ticks show up. Fortunately, they can't touch me! I also see various kinds of flies and butterflies. Then, other insects join the gathering: manna beetles and a large collection of insects in the distance invite themselves to the meeting. I have never been in the company of so many insects in one place!
The subtle location is beautiful: a stream and a sunny green clearing. I greet the insects telepathically.
“Hello to you, dear insects, how are you?”
After a few moments, I see two bulging eyes coming towards me. A large dragonfly is the spokesperson. I observe the beautiful colors around its eyes, on its head. Her transparent wings shine and look like lace. She has a long tail that is both strong and delicate. What a beauty!
“We are happy to meet you,” she says. “We've heard a lot about you.”
“About me?” I said, surprised.
“The word is out in our world,” she admits. “The ants still remember your exchange with a group of them who were asked not to enter the house of a friend. They are still touched by your great sensitivity in recognizing them and becoming the intermediary so that mutual respect is established between insects and humans. The queen with whom you spoke shared the information with other colonies.
“When you communicated with the bees that forage in your gardens in the summer, you mentioned what they like and what they need for their well-being and survival. We are also surprised that humans don't think that we insects need water too!
“It's all about how you view us. It is often limited to beauty or nuisance. But, like all living things, we have a place in creation and a role to play. You conveyed this very well in your interview with the worms.
“As you know, it is important for all living things to be seen and recognized in their entirety, beyond their form, valued for their contribution, and accepted among you humans. Everyone has a place; everyone has their place. Like the spider weaving its web, all are interrelated and collaborate in the balance of the planet and all species, including you. Please discover us! Take an interest in us! See our beauty! Welcome us! Collaboration and mutual aid will always have an important place in everyone's life. The extinction of a species by man brings an imbalance and creates a big impact that affects us all. Let's be open, interested, and respectful of each other.
“We appreciate your contribution to all species on this earth. Thank you for opening the heart and consciousness of each of us to live more in respect and harmony. Beauty is in the eyes of the heart.”
Animal communication instead of insecticides?
This communication with the dragonfly, the spokesperson for the insect world, made me think a lot. When a person feels invaded by ants, wasps, or termites that have taken up residence in their home, their first instinct is to resort to insecticides and exterminators. However, animal communication is just as effective, but much more respectful of life. Moreover, insects communicate with each other and learn to avoid certain places out of respect for humans. If insects understand that humans need their space, humans can also understand that insects have a right to life. The insect world invites us to respect each other, to communicate, and to collaborate. We are all interrelated as inhabitants of the Earth. Something to think about...
Meaning of the dragonfly
After my telepathic exchange with the dragonfly, spokesperson for the insect world, I did some research to understand the symbolism of the dragonfly.
As a totem animal, the dragonfly "calls us to evolve, to make the necessary changes [...] The dragonfly invites us to adapt by being flexible,” according to Barbara Reibel, author of "THE SYMBOLISM OF THE DRAGONFLY AS A TOTEM ANIMAL & ITS TEACHINGS" (my translation in French).
Camille, a Belgian designer of dragonfly jewelry, is very inspired by the symbol of this graceful insect. She writes on her website: "We can therefore imagine that the dragonfly symbolizes the wisdom of transformation and the ability to adapt. It is directly associated with the symbolism of change and light" (my translation). The Earth being in great changes, even upheavals, the dragonfly is so appropriate to represent the insect world, not to mention that it clearly speaks to humans!

Message from the bees (excerpt)
“The colors that attract us are mostly yellow, but we also like the blue mauve. Of course, it also depends on the smell. I don't know if you want to put herbs in your garden, like basil and mint. We really like that. There's also something that humans don't think about much. It's not because you don't want to, but you forget to offer us water. Give us water! It's hot in the summer and we are thirsty. So, give us water! Sometimes basins, containers, or plates are too deep for us. We can't drink water from a fountain unless you put things we can lay on. The ideal is a small, shallow plate that you can put pebbles in for us to stand on to drink. Put it near the vegetable garden, the wilderness area.”
Message from the worms (excerpt)
“We worms are that unknown and mostly misunderstood species. Yet we are found everywhere. As soon as you turn a stone, who appears? It's us! As soon as you play in your flowerbeds, we are there. After the rain, we are visible to those who choose to look at us. The role we play at the ground level is very important. We are the ploughmen. Just as you like to plow your gardens, your flowerbeds, your fields, we also do it but on another level. We take care of maintaining a certain balance in what makes up the different soils, that is, we maintain a balance between the good bacteria and those that are more harmful.”
