Lady Bug-Lady Bug Fly away Home.............

"Ladybird, ladybird fly away home,
Your house in on fire and your children are gone"

Is chanted by children when a ladybug insect lands on their person. If the ladybug doesn't fly away of its own accord the child would gently blow it away chanting "
"Ladybird, ladybird fly away home,
Your house in on fire and your children are gone"

Today I was surprised to see this little lady bug on the rail. Usually the first signs of spring there are an over abundance of them, but by late summer they are gone.
