insects:
"There sat Beatty, perspiring gently, the floor littered with swarms of black moths that had died in a single storm." page 77
Brabdbury is using the motif of insects in this passage to depict the ashes on the floor from the burning of the pages after lighting each chapter on fire. Here, the insects (ashes) are gross and black that had all been killed after the burning (storm)of the book.

Water:
"...the chaff women in his parlor tonight, with the kernels blown out from under them by a neon wind, and his silly damned reading of a book to them. How like trying to put out fires with waterpistols, how senseless and insane." pg. 109
Bradbury uses the motif of water in this passage to convey the message that it will be almost impossible for Montag to get people to start reading books again. Water puts out fire but you have to have enough of it so he is also saying that to get the society to begin reading books again he will have to gain more "followers", or water guns to "put out" the government, or fire.
