Ladybug 🐞

Do you call it a ladybird, or a ladybeetle, or a ladybug? I haven’t looked this up on the internet yet, but I’m sure the terms are, to some extent, interchangeable.

While I find ants frustrating, and will admit to crushing them with a tissue when I find them invading my space, I saw this ladybug on the floor when I woke up this morning. I let it crawl onto my hand—it initially didn’t seem to like the nail art on my fingernails, maybe it was too alarming—then I let it crawl off my hand and outside on the balcony.

A woman’s hand with a small brown ladybug on it. — It is brown-orange, and I don’t remember the last time I saw a bright red one.
