Lady Bird or Lady Bug??
Hey everyone, growing up I have always known these as "ladybird", many refer to them as lady bug. The "bug" I get as it's a small pretty bug. Where does the bird part come in??
Sneaky Pete next door has some amazing sunflowers which are ornamental the pollinators love them, I took the opportunity to snap a few pics of this colorful lady bug and her fellow companion pollinators.
This now winter garden has end of season chilli's and a few varieties of various other companion flowers, sadly though until spring the rest of the garden will be mostly dormant, the pollinators still active and plentiful.
Nature the incredible.
I trust you have a wonderful Thursday.
Love, light and blessings.

Your nephew asked me that exact question yesterday!
Ladybird tends to be British English (or British anyway) rather than Ladybug being American English - my family is confusing because my wife is half American, so we don't know what to call them. Also, not all Ladybirds are ladies - so Ladybird is potentially wrong on several counts!
