Winged Scarab beetle
In Egypt, an important species of scarab was held sacred by the ancient, sun-worshiping Egyptians, who regarded the beetle
as a symbol of immortality. The Egyptians apparently shared the widespread belief that the beetle lays its eggs in this ball
of dung, and saw in the life cycle of the beetle a microcosm of the daily rebirth of the sun. The ancient sun-god Khepri was
conceived as a great scarab beetle rolling the sun across the heavens. The scarab also became a symbol of the enduring human
soul as well, hence its frequent appearance, often with wings spread, in funerary art.
