Little Ladybug Hugs


       It is time again to let you in on this week’s theme. I believe it is very appropriate and hopefully prophetic. The theme this week is ladybugs; the cute little red bugs with black spots. Ladybugs commonly frequent fields and forests during the warmer months. As the weather gets cooler, however, ladybugs tend to fly inside buildings. While I do not wish for ladybugs to infest my apartment, I am excited about this pattern. The theme fits the timing because this week becomes September, and ladybugs typically head indoors from September to November. I am hoping that it is prophetic because that would mean colder weather is coming. Autumn is my favorite season, and thus I would be thrilled at some seasonal weather. Yet their habits are not the only reason they are a good theme. These bugs are also adorable and often found in children’s tales. For example, there is a ladybug in the film James and the Giant Peach as well as the film A Bug’s Life. It is also a very popular Halloween costume for dogs and babies. Like butterflies, they are among the few insects that can be considered pretty. Many insects, I’m sure, are involved in myths and legends. Yet ladybugs are found in pop culture such as the films I mentioned.  And now I will share some of the more interesting pictures that have been used. Enjoy them, and stay tuned for this week’s second theme.
