The U.S. Government has a standard on how many rat hairs are allowed in a sample of wheat. If a railroad car full barely fails inspection, the company will pull it off to the side and then run it though the inspection process with another train. According to the “laws” of statistics, chances are good it will pass the second time around.
The government has all kinds of standards of how much of a bad thing is allowed in our food including not only rat hairs but poisons, insect parts and other things people would rather not think about.
Never heard of ants being good luck anywhere. Certainly not in my life. Got bit by a red ant (south Arkansas) and within hours the affected hand looked like a hamburger bun!

Never understood why they call them ladybugs, that seems like an insult to ladies.

I had some mysterious insects on my tomato plants once. I used a gardening forum to identify them. Turned out to be ladybug larvae.

The Ladybugs eat other insects and are toxic to its own predators.
