0 tiger_lily111 Posted June 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 Ladybug / Ladybird / Ladybeetle etc. While known by many an alias, I'm considered quite a Dame. As above, known by several names, most include the word "Lady" In America, I've been a First in order to match my name. Ladybird Johnson, some say she took this nickname to match her initials with LBJ I have a healthy appetite but am an oft invited guest, They eat many garden & field pests, some people release them in their area for this reason Though I'm afraid you'd find me bitter were I rather stressed. Release a bitter defensive chemical when squashed or sometimes just when stressed Like a leopard I shan't change my spots, but some think me very lucky, They never change the number of spots they have (it's a myth!), & some people make a wish when releasing a caught one And when I move on, when I'm gone, you'll think me rather ducky. Ok, so this one's mostly for rhyme, but lots of people like them & think they're cute! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
