Cool Ladybug Facts
The “lady” in ladybug refers to the Virgin Mary.
Legend has it that crops in
Europe during the Middle Ages ere plagued by
pests, so the farmers began praying to the Blessed Lady, the Virgin Mary. Soon
the farmers started seeing ladybugs in their fields, and the crops were
miraculously saved from the pests. They associated their good fortune with the
black and red beetles, and so began calling them ladybug beetles. In Germany
Ladybug bleed from their knees when threatened.
A ladybug’s hemolymph is
both toxic and rank. Startle a ladybug, and the foul-smelling fluid will seep
from its leg joints, leaving yellow stains on the surface below. Potential
predators may be deterred by the vile mix of alkaloids, and equally repulsed by
the sight of a seemingly sickly beetle. Ladybug larvae can ooze from their
abdomens.
