When you see one on your hand, they look so smooth and perfect. but close up, you can really see the flaws and imperfections in their body.... excellent detail Paul.

The family is commonly known as ladybugs in North America and ladybirds in Britain and other parts of the English-speaking world. Entomologists prefer the names ladybird beetles or lady beetles as these insects are not classified as true bugs. One of the alternate early names for the beetle, before “ladybug” or “ladybird” in English was “ladycow”. The earliest mention of the word “ladybird”, referring to the beetle, is noted by the Oxford English Dictionary to have occurred in 1674 in a dictionary of sorts covering southern English words.
