I don’t know if this is factual, fictional, or a bit of each, but the most commonly circulated story about how the ladybug got its name is quite interesting. According to that account, quite a long time ago in Europe, a small farming village was experiencing unprecedented problems with insects that kept devouring the crops. Faced with certain ruin, the peasants fell to their knees and began to beg the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary to send help in their calamity. Their simple faith was soon rewarded. The farmers began to notice a change in the crops. The dying foliage started to revitalize and greenness once again appeared on the landscape. Something was definitely reversing the devastation. As they looked closer, the farmers noticed small red bugs with black dots festooning their tiny concave, shell-like, bodies. Like soldiers called in to battle, they were eating the culprits—destructive aphids. “Our Lady’s bugs, Our Lady’s beetles,” the grateful villagers proclaimed. Eventually, as the small insects became a familiar part of their lives, the people shortened their name to ladybugs, the term by which they are still known today and perhaps one of the reasons why they are so well-loved. Whatever the case, ladybugs are the allies of farmers; they are tiny soldiers that patrol the fields making sure there will be food on the table for everyone.

Supplication
by rubyjoDon’t let me fuck up, I pray / Walking through the tiled halls / Opening doors to needy minds / And looming contraptions on the walls
this write has the word fuck in it twice (ok three times counting this one), so if that bothers you, then stop right here… i’m a story teller. i like to write anecdotal pieces that entertain or pull you along in my world. but today, at lunch i was feeling a little lost. So i shut the door to my office and started writing. But i couldn’t make anything flow, no stories wanted to be told. So i just started writing sentences down and really, i didn’t pay much attention to them, i was just trying to get my brain in gear. Then i paused and realized many of the lines rhymed / / Now folks, i don’t write rhyming pieces, or rather i don’t post rhyming pieces. I write them but i always toss them aside because i think mine are cheesy. i have a great admiration for folks that write excellent rhyming pieces because i think it’s hard not to sacrifice the write for a word or a rhythm. Having said all that, i’m posting this, my first real rhyming poem. lol / / and if it bothers you that i pray those particular words, (because i really do) then you might want to read this write as it explains how i feel about that supplication- “a humble and sincere appeal to somebody who has the power to grant a request”, / Encarta ® World English Dictionary © & (P) 1998-2005 Microsoft Corporation.
