Symbolic meaning of the Ladybug:
Perhaps best known as an emblem of luck. When a Ladybug lands on you, it is said your wish will come true.
Asian traditions hold to the belief that if caught and then released, the Ladybug will faithfully fly to your true love and whisper your name in his/her ear. Upon hearing the Ladybug’s message your true love will hurry his/her way to your side.
In Ireland, the Ladybug is said to be a symbol of protection.
Ancient farmers of the land have considered the Ladybug a good omen as she controls aphid populations.
As a love symbol, this insect totem has been the subject of many wive’s tales in which the number of spots on a Ladybug’s back is said to indicate the number of months to pass before the wish for love comes true.

hi today i was sitting outside having a smoke when a ladybug landed on my leg it crawled upto my hand then flew off.
can anyone tell me the true meaning of this ?
earlier this week, I was looking at a magazine, keep hearing a tapping noise, not sure what it was. thought iw was coming from window outside. looked up at the light in ceiling and there it was a ladybug. I was trying to figure out where she came from.. SO did have a lot of dots on her back.. I finally cut her.. took her out to a balcony, intrigue how she get there and blew a kiss made my wish and let her go… Hopefully she is a BLESSING..
Last night during my Thanksgiving dinner I was cutting up my 2yr old sons food and my ear began to tickle. I stuck my finger in to itch my ear finding that there was something sitting inside. I pulled it out and came to find that I had a ladybug inside of my ear. I put it into my hand and it began to crawl around. Not wanting to harm it, I put it in a nearby plant. I have not inclination as to how it got in there. What does this mean??????
there are about 40 ladybugs that recently invaded my girlfriends room they stay in her room and go no where else is there some kind of meaning?
I was just by our scanner at work when a lady bug crawled up the side of the cabinet and right beside me. Looking in amazement I asked where the heck did you come from? Not wanting to hurt her I gently put her on my paperwork and let her crawl off onto another cabinet where she wouldn’t get crushed. I could use some financial luck it would be nice to get out of debt.
I really need to know why ladybugs come out of now were. I found one ladybug on the window seal of my kitchen, that night i bought a $3 dollar scartch off ticken and hit for $35 dollars. two days later i find i have not one but four ladybugs in my home. what do they mean.
My last year in high school, I was walking out of the building at the end of the day and stopped to talk to a friend. As the two of us were standing there chatting I felt this tingling sensation all along my back and tried to ignore it until something was in my hair. I brushed at my hair and around 5-10 ladybugs flew off. I freaked about the tingling on my back and my friend told me to turn around and there were lady bugs all over my back. As I looked around I saw that the whol front of my school was covered in thousands and thousands and thousands of ladybugs…..I had dreamed of giant ladybugs the night before. I have no idea what this mean but ladybugs have freaked me out since…. I don’t know what this could mean.
I often come across ladybugs and spot them very easily. Oddly enough its happened while in the middle of a football (soccer) game which is weird because I somehow notice the tiny thing amidst all the chaos going on. Does anybody mean what this can mean, if anything??
i too have had my bedroom invaded by ladybugs, but they were all diffrent colors. Every day / night they would be there. what does this mean????
I see ladybugs from time to time, usually when I need reassurance about some big worry. They’ve appeared in my car, on my computer monitor at work(for 2 or 3 days in a row!), and on my sister’s jacket(we were roomies at the time). If I ever got a tattoo it might be of a ladybug.
I ve been reading your answers to the Ladybug questions? Its symbolc meaning and each countries meaning to the ladybug. I have a question as well. I have a 3 yr old daughter who is very happy and full of life and energy,her personality is should i say unique and beautiful.The day she was born some thing unusual happened in my delivery room and continued til we left. The ceiling in our room had hundreds of ladybugs and all the hosptital staff was amazed and astonished, nothing like that happened before ? Today when we take walks she always seems to find theladybugs or they seem to find her. She loves to hold ‘em and just watch? She’sdrawn pictures of them so perfectly since the age of two, when we show them to friends and family they can only say…WOW.. even bringing them to tears. Her art ,talent is beyond her years.I Today a woman stopped me to ask me if she can tell me something…she said ” Your little girl has a beautiful spirit..” she smiled at her and walked away.. WOW..what can be of that? Can you give me some answers or whet to go to find it? The meaning of it? please respond asap..Thank you Jennifer
@Jennifer.
Sorry. I don’t do “ASAP” well.
From your comment, it seems you’ve already deduced many answers for yourself already.
Be still, meditate, go within, ask…these are profound tools for knowing the deeper meaning of things/events.
Namaste
I sleep on a loft bed, so my head is incredibly close to the ceiling. One morning, just a few days ago, I woke up pretty much face to face with a ladybug who was sleeping on my ceiling. I then released it outside, while the sun was rising. It was strange to find it sleeping there…
I was driving to work one night and its about a 10 mile drive, a ladybug rode the whole way there on my window wipers. I called my mom and she said she had 2 that rode the whole way on hers the same day. Can anyone tell me what that means??
For over 4 months now these ladybugs have been mysteriously appearing around me and my partner, never when we are separate. I will be looking at something (for example my cup), look away for a split second, look back and it will be on the rim staring at me. I have no idea where they are coming from but we will always be either inside (or once it happened on a bus) and no windows will be open. I always try to pick it up and lead it outside to safety but it doesn’t leave the house. Finally after trying to put it on a plant or something it will fly off my hand, go back and land on something in the room and when I go to grab it again I look where it dropped but it’s disappeared and nowhere to be found. I just really want to get an explanation for what could be going on. Any ideas anyone?
WHat does this mean for the past 5 years lady bugs have followed me they either appear by the dozen in my room or window sill no matter where I live as I have moved 4 times since this began at first I was scared to death of them not so much anymore.SInce this all began I have had 2 kids and getting divorced they stopped appearing last year but now I am in a great relationship with someone new and tada here are the lady bugs again but not in my room they have appeared one on my back and one in superstore on my chest of my shirt both times with my boyfriend with me what does this mean????
