  1. In Dutch Ladybugs are called 'Lieveheersbeestjes', which translates directly to 'Dearlordcritters'. I have been told by Dutch biologist Midas Dekkers that this happened a long time ago, when someone was about to be executed, but this ladybug flew on top of the chopping block and the criminal carefully helped the ladybug off the chopping block, put the ladybug with his hand elsewhere, and then laid his head on the chopping block. The priest, who witnessed this act of kindness, stopped the execution and said the insect was sent by our dear Lord to proof his innocence. The criminal got free and the insect is henceforth known as our "DearLordCritter". :)
