A butterfly represents the fleeting nature of life since a butterfly is transformed from a caterpillar, but shortly dies after maturity. Iron is a solid metal, often thought to be the life of the planet, but tarnishes and rusts over time. Thus an iron butterfly represents something that looks permanent, but ultimately crumbles to dust.
