ANECDOTAL, METAPHYSICAL, &/or LORE: Some believe the fly spirit animal is a potent symbol of adaptability, persistence, and transformation. Flies can symbolize persistence and determination. If a fly is close by, it can remind you not to give up on your current tasks or goals. If you’ve lost motivation for a project, a fly may be reminding you to carry on through persistence and determination.
