The name ladybug can be traced to the middle ages where these insects were dubbed "Beetle of Our Lady" and dedicated to the Virgin Mary because it was thought to have come from heaven to save crops. Today, in other parts of the world, these insects are believed to signal a bountiful harvest, good weather, or even good luck.
