Lucky Ladybirds

Is it a ladybird or ladybug? I suppose that depends on where you live but in the UK they are ladybirds and are a sign that Spring is on it’s way as they wake up to feed and begin their breeding cycle.

Plus some believe they bring good luck, but as a gardener I know they are an important to our eco system.
