The Ladybug Sisters

Last week the LadyBug Shop had some very special guests. Mid-day last Wednesday four sisters arrived together, all wearing their special ladybug t-shirts that they had made themselves. Each t-shirt was a different color, with a large L and a ladybug on the front. And on the back they had written each of their nicknames. They were Joan Santa Maria (the “Good Sister” from Arizona), Cate Lanphier (the older “Bad Sister” from Florida), Ethel Manns (the younger “Bad Sister” from Pennsylvania and Delaware) and Peg Sodano (the “Baby Sister” from Pennsylvania). To compliment their attire they had painted their fingernails and toenails bright red with black dots.

And they brought with them their pets – a collection of small toy ladybugs that they had decked out in a variety of costumes they had made for them. The sisters gather once a year to spend time together and have a fun outing. A couple of years ago when they visited a casino they took along a toy ladybug to bring them luck. And that started a chain of events that led them to now consider themselves the ladybug sisters. They are a lively and fun group and we look forward to having them visit us again.

We love having visitors at the LadyBug Shop so please plan a trip and Come See Us.



Ladybugs and Arbor Day

In 1854 Sterling Morton moved to a western frontier region located in what is now the state of Nebraska. There were virtually no trees on the plains of his new home, so he started planting them and encouraged his neighbors to do likewise. The trees flourished and provided shade, fuel and building materials, as well as much needed windbreaks to prevent soil erosion. In 1872, at Morton's urging the Nebraska State Board of Agriculture initiated a holiday to plant trees on April 10. This was the first "Arbor Day" in the United States.

About one million trees were planted in Nebraska on that first Arbor Day. All states in the US now have an official Arbor Day. Most are observed in April, but a few states hold theirs in other months. National Arbor Day is celebrated on the last Friday in April.

Releasing ladybugs is a great way to celebrate Arbor Day. Ladybugs are a natural form of pest control as they eat aphids and other pests that damage plants. This video shows children at an elementary school in Arizona celebrating Arbor Day in this manner. If you come to Milford next Saturday, April 30, you can help us release ladybugs as part of our annual Bud & Bug Festival when we celebrate Delaware's official state bug and Arbor Day. Stop by the LadyBug Shop to pick up your package of FREE Live Ladybugs, while supplies last!

Why are Ladybugs so Lucky?

Why are Ladybugs so Lucky?


The Luck of the Ladybug is known all across the world. But what is so lucky about a ladybug? Many cultures believe the sight of a ladybug means future luck in love, good weather, a financial windfall or the granting of wishes. Having a ladybug land on you is supposedly to be particularly lucky.


Folklore suggests if you catch a Ladybug in your home, count the number of spots and that's how many dollars you'll soon find.
More than likely ladybugs were thought to be of good luck because of their usefulness in gardening and farming."Twice the Luck"


The Lucky Ladybugs Rug is for indoor or outdoor use. The Ladybug Rug by Jellybean, "washes better than your jeans." Wash the Ladybug Rug over and over again to keep it looking new. The ladybug floor rug measures 22" by 34". 35% of the material is made from recycled post consumer PET plastic. Use this colorful rug in a child's playroom, in the kitchen, and at the back door. Bóín Dé is an Irish Gaelic translation of 'ladybug', and literally means 'God's little cow.' Visit the LadyBug Shop for more unique facts and fantasies about ladybugs!
