 Ladybug Tattoo Designs - Cultures all over the world associate the fabled Ladybug with Good
Luck and Good Fortune. For the English and French farmers it
indicates good weather. In Sweden and other countries the Ladybug
will bring Good Luck with finding your true love. Some Asian
cultures believe that the Ladybug understands human language, and
has been blessed by God. In Europe, during the Middle Ages, insects
were destroying the crops, so 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.

The ladybug is the Official State Bug of Delaware, Massachusetts,
New Hampshire, Tennessee and Ohio.
A Ladybug landing on a person will bring Good Fortune, and if one
lands on you when you are ill, it takes the illness away.
If a
ladybug lands on the hand of a recently married woman the number of
dots on its back is the number of children she will have. |
Finding a ladybug is good luck (the redder the better)
A ladybug on your clothing means you will soon get a new piece of
clothing. The number of spots on a ladybug indicated the number of
happy months lay ahead.
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.
 If a ladybug lands on your hand and then flies away, it said to be
good weather on the following Sunday. Killing a Ladybug is said to
bring sadness and misfortune.
To know the direction from which your future love will come catch a
ladybug and chant the following:
"Ladybug, ladybug, fly away home Your house is on fire and your
children are gone."
