You probably don’t know, but there is a large interest in etymology on the internet.
Many times, I have been asked to produce content relating to the study of insects, what with being a keen studier of insects and all.
“No, no, no,” I have said in the past, modesty forbidding me from showing off my knowledge. Still, my fans persist.
Reluctantly, I have dragged myself away from studying insects in the garden to write this informative and possibly lucrative piece for you.

Today’s topic is the ladybug.
You can recognize a ladybug using the picture above: sort of round, red with spots, about 1cm long and wide.
The ladybug is also called the ladybird in the UK. I will use the American way because of the big bucks, but it pains me to do so.
The ladybug is the most popular insect in nature. It looks good. It doesn’t bite or sting. Children love them, except for silly, screaming kids who haven’t been brought up correctly. “Oh no, a bug,” they cry, and run to Mommy, who consoles them. Madam, they’ll never cope in life if you do that. The only job they’ll get will be as a left-wing politician.

Back to ladybugs.
The amateur etymologist will only look at the insect briefly, failing to observe key details that imma tell you now.
It has six legs. It has a carapace where the wings are kept hidden and safe. Carapace is a technical term, just nod and try to seem intelligent. It can sort of fly, as if Boeing had designed it on a Friday.
It eats aphids, greenfly, and blackfly, making it a natural pest controller. People buy them — dozens of them — to put in their gardens to eat unwanted bugs. That’s where the big bucks come in.
You could breed them in jars or something, and then sell them via YouTube. There is so much interest, I reckon you could shift several jars a day, easy. I’d do it myself, but the code of conduct for ladybug etymologists forbids such behavior.

Birds probably eat ladybugs. All part of the bicycle of Nature. God’s plan if you believe in such things, or the Devil’s work if you don’t.
They are at risk from climate change because every single other sodding thing is. Or maybe not. Science is not inflammable. If the planet warms, it might actually be better for ladybugs. They don’t think of that.
Don’t squish ladybugs. You might come back as one.
