Part of a series of Alphabet illustrations originally done for the Manx Gaelic language.

Ladybug style - scarlet red background and black polka dots. The appearance of Ladybug symbolism heralds a time of good luck. Moreover, it means that wishes and dreams are coming to fruition. Higher goals and new heights are now possible. In other words, worries begin to dissipate and new happiness comes about.

Take a good look, because the last thing you want to do is kill these forest and garden allies before they reach maturity... One nymph will eat about 400 aphids in the three weeks before it pupates and changes into an adult Ladybird. An adult ladybird bug or beetle will eat more than 5,000 aphids in its lifetime! So don’t panic when you see these prehistoric looking creatures on your plants... :-)
