THERE's a poem we said as kids too that goes with your BEAUTIFUL macros and varied color ladybird/bugs. We only seem to have orange ones with black spots! There are many variations (some kinda' gruesome) but here's the one we sang and Wikipedia identifies as Canadian version:
Canadian Version
Ladybug, Ladybug, fly away home, Your house is on fire and Your children are alone. .....Luv and xo from Patty

Wildthing said at 5:03 a.m. on Oct 25, 2009: Very nice macros, Louise. When I was young, I remember a brand of clothes called 'Ladybird'. There was a little ladybird on their labels.

Moabjeeper said at 7:55 a.m. on Oct 25, 2009: Nice macros. They're only trying to keep warm. I don't they eat very much - are good for your roses.

Merja-zerga said at 1:58 p.m. on Oct 25, 2009: Quand nous étions enfants et encore maintenant d'ailleurs, nous surnomions la coccinelle ""bête à bon Dieu"" car celle-ci est un porte bonheur. Si vous arrivez à compter le nombre de points noirs qu'elle porte sur son dos, ceux-ci représentent le nombre de mois heureux qui s'annonçent pour vous!!! Et toi Louise, as-tu réussis à isoler une coccinelle et à compter ses taches? Bon courage et bravo!!! Bises. ThierryKarine
EMA said at 4:38 p.m. on Oct 25, 2009: The most amazing thing for me is that they are different from each other. Black with red spots, red with black spots; yellow with black spots... Very nice indeed. Nice macros!
