Insect Christmas Ornaments

Insect Christmas ornaments feature butterflies, ladybugs, bees, dragonflies, and caterpillars in mouth-blown glass and handcrafted styles — colorful accents for nature-themed trees.

Insect Christmas ornaments add unexpected color and whimsy to a tree — butterflies, ladybugs, bees, dragonflies, and caterpillars in mouth-blown glass, clip-on, and handcrafted styles. Butterflies are the most popular, available as clip-on designs that perch on branches (like our clip-on bird ornaments) and as hanging glass pieces from Old World Christmas. Butterflies also carry memorial meaning for many families — representing transformation and the spirit of a loved one. Insect ornaments pair naturally with bird and woodland ornaments on a nature-themed tree. Browse all animal ornaments for more.
