I'm not sure if this is the right section here, feel free to delete if not.
True fact!
A swarm of Ladybirds is known as a Loveliness! Perfect name for such gorgeous insects!
Had to smile when I read this - in our village we have a group of "old biddies" who meet up monthly for a bring and share lunch with gossip in the village hall - we call ourselves "Ladybirds" 
I haven’t seen any ladybirds this year.

Last year my DH swears he was bitten by a ladybug (that's what we call them), and I thought he was imagining things. It turns out that yes, they do sometimes bite.
Now he thinks they are evil little creatures out to pursue him.
In the UK hot summer of 1976 there were reports of people being bitten by ladybirds. There were many more ladybirds and they were bigger than usual, too! 🐞
