Broom Hilda by Russell Myers for February 25, 2025

Not a gentleman, either.

But she was bugging her (I HAD to say it).

Marinette would be disappointed.

The pretty ones are males.

Takes one to know one

Male Ladybugs are usually slightly smaller than Female Ladybugs.

Females tend to be more Round. Males tend to be more Slender.

That was no lady! That was my wife!

So much for the rep of being good luck.

But it was a bug.

Must be the guy from “It a Bug’s Life”

(O,O)

It’s a new species, a curmudgeon bug.

It’s not a ladybug. It’s a mantis.

“It turns out, the ladybug isn’t named for any particular female trait it possesses. Rather, it is named for a specific lady- the Virgin Mary.

Why? This isn’t precisely known. One of the leading theories is that the name came about as a result of the ladybug’s bright red shell, which is not too dissimilar from the red cloak Mary is often pictured wearing in biblical paintings. There’s also an old European legend that states that farmers many hundreds of years ago prayed to the Virgin Mary asking for help to save them from the pests devouring their crops and in return she sent a swarm of tiny beetles bearing her trademark coat to eat them." todayifoundout.COM/>I guess they should be ‘ladysbug’ but the ‘S’ fell out a few centuries ago.
