““Another instance when I see sparkles is when I do a kind deed for an insect or animal. I often put beetles, millipedes, spiders and the like outside when I find them inside, so I do not have to kill them. I use a piece of paper or in the dustpan. I have done this for years, but since I started seeing the fairy sparkles with my actual eyesight, I have also seen animal and insect fairy sparkles, often in the half-light at dusk. They sometimes light-up when I put them outside, just a single flash of brightly coloured sparkle and then it goes away just as suddenly. I then have a sense that it really was the insect fairy, thanking me for saving its insect’s life. A little sparkle of insect appreciation!””
