Ladybugs..... (Superstition)

Macro Mondays and Superstition

 

 

Seeing ladybugs brings luck. Killing a ladybird brings bad luck: they would cause rain if they were kicked to death.

 

The existing Germanic name for the beetle, Freyafugle (bird of the goddess Freya), was christianised into our ladybird or ladybird during christianisation. The animal has many names, which often refer to the animal of the gods, such as celestial creature, angel or sun biscuit.

HMM.
