I cannot remember seeing any praying mantises here in the Seattle area though I lived in Texas and California for a while and remember seeing them in both those states. Ladybugs seem to be everywhere here and always a favorite. Dragonflies are a favorite of mine in the summer months, seeing them flit quickly around the yard. They remind me of miniature airplanes. The lacewing fly is a new one to me.

I can only remember these lines, and looking it up on wiki it seems there were a number of variations to the verse.<br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ladybird_LadybirdLisa Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10562101358640638937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-784721628839912690.post-70212326828546565492013-02-03T15:00:02.719+01:002013-02-03T15:00:02.719+01:00the dragonfly feels more mystical...like from a fa...the dragonfly feels more mystical...like from a fairy tale :)Anahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12087615345111466319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-784721628839912690.post-66259696415775101952013-02-03T14:59:22.841+01:002013-02-03T14:59:22.841+01:00I love ladybirds, so it is nice seeing all differe...I love ladybirds, so it is nice seeing all different ones on stamps :)Anahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12087615345111466319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-784721628839912690.post-30106820362485635322013-02-03T14:58:24.206+01:002013-02-03T14:58:24.206+01:00when I was a child, I also used to catch ladybirds...when I was a child, I also used to catch ladybirds...and let them crawl over my fingers...we used to believe that one who catches a ladybird, and lets it fly away, it will bring guests to his house...it was like a ritual...having the ladybird in your hand and saying 'fly fly away ladybird, bring me some guests over' :)Anahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12087615345111466319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-784721628839912690.post-24628142895494384422013-02-03T14:44:26.704+01:002013-02-03T14:44:26.704+01:00The lacewing is so delicate, but I'm biased in...The lacewing is so delicate, but I'm biased in favour of the dragonfly.Bob Scotneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00662958579705940009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-784721628839912690.post-37222333698159002582013-02-03T14:32:10.717+01:002013-02-03T14:32:10.717+01:00Ladybirds are common today - I have posted one as ...Ladybirds are common today - I have posted one as well :)Marciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04151334482554014157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-784721628839912690.post-9115539183330138772013-02-03T13:52:15.943+01:002013-02-03T13:52:15.943+01:00I've always thought that ladybirds are pretty ...I've always thought that ladybirds are pretty that I used to catch them and put them in a jar when I was younger.
