Indy Posted August 13, 2019 Share #2 Posted August 13, 2019 Ladybug. The other one's you said, I have no idea what you would mean. I'd probably think of a lady driving a beetle while flipping me the bird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, some folks will make that trip regardless of wording or terminology. Hey, if he wants to support the local Thai economy, more power to him.

TrentonMakes Posted August 13, 2019 Share #12 Posted August 13, 2019 I call it a ladybug but my son would be quick to point out that "ladybird beetle" is more correct since it's not a "true bug". "The Hemiptera or true bugs are an order of insects comprising some 50,000 to 80,000 species of groups such as the cicadas, aphids, planthoppers, leafhoppers, and shield bugs. They range in size from 1 mm (0.04 in) to around 15 cm (6 in), and share a common arrangement of sucking mouthparts*. The name "true bugs" is sometimes limited to the suborder Heteroptera. Many insects commonly known as "bugs" belong to other orders; for example, the lovebug is a fly, while the May bug and ladybug are beetles." * reported Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12string Posted August 13, 2019 Share #13 Posted August 13, 2019 50,000 to 80,000? They're so unsure they could be off by 30,000 and they still refuse to make room for the Ladybug?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
