The ladybird is a small beetle with a domed back, typically red or yellow with black spots. Both the adults and larvae are important predators of aphids. The North American term for the insect is ladybug. The common European seven-spotted ladybird is seen as symbolising the seven joys and seven sorrows of the Virgin Mary.
Ladybird, ladybird, fly away home!
Your house is on fire, your children all gone.
Ladybird, ladybird, fly away home!
Your house is on fire, your children all gone.
All but one, and her name is Ann,
And she crept under the pudding pan
And she crept under the pudding pan
