Ladybugs have long been considered a symbol of good luck and fortune, with each culture denoting it's good fortune. In reality due to their ability to eat an enormous supply of aphids, ladybugs were believed to be sent from heaven to save crops.
Today, as i checked my email under the warm sun there he appeared (i know it was a male because of his size, male ladybugs tend to be smaller). With camera in tote - as usual - i snapped a few shots of him perched upon my MacBook. Just moments before he flew away i was able to count his spots. Seven. Does that denote seven months of good luck to come?
Let's hope so...because after tonight's unfortunate discovery, i could use a bit good fortune.

There's a mac cult-ess growing inside of you... Those 7 months could mean lots of good stuff. Isn't 7 the luckiest number?
Cannot wait to hang the week with you...

Ladybugs are the best- they're beautiful and they clear out aphids and other pests. Thankyou for your comment on my blog. I too shot a ladybug previously- HERE, hope you like it!
