The symbolic meaning associated with ladybug can be traced back to the middle-ages, when European farmers witnessed large scale destruction of their crops by insects. Ladybugs simply emerged as a savior in such a situation, as they are voracious consumers of pests and other insects. Farmers of the middle ages believed that ladybugs were the answers to their prayer to Virgin Mary. They believed that ladybugs were sent by Virgin Mary in order to protect their plants from harmful insects. So, the farmers started to call the ladybugs as ‘the beetles of our Lady. Today, ladybugs are regarded as a symbol of good luck and friendship all across the world.
