Legend has it that the “lady” in lady beetle or ladybug dates back to the Middle Ages. The story is that farmers' crops were being damaged by swarms of aphids. But after the farmers prayed to the Virgin Mary for help, the ladybugs arrived, ate all the aphids, and saved the day. The farmers were so grateful that from then on they referred to the insects as “Our Lady’s beetles”.
