When Was The Last Time You Saw A Ladybird?
When Was The Last Time You Saw A Ladybird? Or Should I have asked, Do you know of ladybird? Apparently, we have some of us not lucky enough to have encountered these wonderful and colorful insects. Black and white may not be my best color. But I love them on the ladybird’s wings.
Pointing at a ladybird on a book, she requested some kids to identify which insect it was
Sadly, the kids had no idea of a ladybird. So they had no answer for her. Would you have got the correct answer for her?
Have you ever attended an event that requires kids to draw from their imagination? Or at home, have you ever requested the kids to draw something? What drawings do they draw most?
Due to developments and what they have been exposed to. Depending on where they stay. Will center around what they interact with frequently.

We call them ladybugs here in the U.S. I live in the southern U.S., and they are everywhere. In the autumn they get inside the house and somehow manage to even get inside the cupboards!

That’s not good, is it? Anytime any creature or insect disappears, it’s not good. We used to have bullfrogs here, and they almost completely disappeared several years ago. And the lizards called anoles have largely disappeared. It’s very distressing!
