[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I tried so many time to take a photo of these lovely insects but I didn't have any chance to catch them. In Turkish they are called Uğur Böceği which means Luck Bugs.

Ladybird is a name that has been used in England for more than 600 years for the European beetle Coccinella septempunctata. As knowledge about insects increased, the name became extended to all its relatives, members of the beetle family Coccinellidae. Of course these insects are not birds, but butterflies are not flies, nor are dragonflies, stoneflies, mayflies, and fireflies, which all are true common names in folklore, not invented names. The lady for whom they were named was "the Virgin Mary", and common names in other European languages have the same association (the German name Marienkafer translates to "Marybeetle" or ladybeetle). Prose and poetry mention ladybird, perhaps the most familiar in English being the children's rhyme:

Ladybird, ladybird, fly away home,
Your house is on fire, your children all gone...
