Ladybugs are probably the nicest insect around.  Besides being useful in gardens, they are favorites of children.  In the United Kingdom, Ladybugs are called 'Ladybirds'. These brightly colored insects are also considered 'lucky'.

Let's look at some ladybug designs on a few lovely handmade items found on Etsy.

  1. I love ladybugs - well, most of the time that is. In the spring when they start appearing around the house, they can get annoying but they seem so cute that I just catch them and toss them outside :-) All these ladybug items are adorable and look so well made. Thank you for sharing!.

  2. When I was a child there was a patch of milkweed in a field near my home and every year the plants would be loaded with lady bugs.
