At one time, doctors would mash up ladybugs and put them in a cavity to cure a toothache.

Some people believe that the number of spots on a ladybug indicates how many children you will have

If you find a ladybug in your house in the winter you will have good luck.

Ever since I was a small child ladybugs have been among my very best tiny friends.

      the Catholic farmers prayed to the Virgin Mary for help.  Soon the
      Ladybugs came, ate the plant-destroying pests and saved the crops! The
      farmers  began calling the ladybugs "The Beetles of Our
      Lady", and they eventually became known as "Lady
      Beetles"!  The red wings represented the Virgin's cloak and the
      black spots represented her joys and sorrows. </blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.geocities.com/sseagraves/ladybuglore.htm?200921"><div align="center"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.geocities.com/img/0844F9D7-764F-4CF8-8C47-976DCC97D497" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.geocities.com/sseagraves/ladybuglore.htm?200921">In Sweden,
