Make a Wish

Updated: Nov 20, 2022

If a ladybird lands on you it's deemed a piece of 'good luck' and 'well-being'. Make a wish and perhaps all your dreams will come true. Take note of the colour of its coat, the brighter its coat may mean your luck will be stronger. Ladybirds are considered a symbol of luck.


Most people find highly pleasurable spending time in the garden, hearing the birds. bees and watching the flowers and fruit blossom to bud. We especially like to find ladybirds fluttering around gorging on the aphids and mites, because of this we regard them as friends and protectors, the guardians of our gardens. Enjoy a walk around the garden to see if you can find them looking for pollen amongst their favourite herbs and flowers dill, coriander, yarrow, caraway, fennel, tansy, cosmos, and scented pelargoniums. Gently turnover to look behind leaves and petals especially in roses, you'll see them doing their best with an aphid.


When you sight one of these little flying beetles it doesn't matter what colour they are, they're all special with over different 400 types in Australia. Take note of the spots and how many there are, seeing seven or less can indicate the sign of a good harvest is coming. The spots act as a warning signal to predators, their bright colour combination with spots is known as a aposematic colouration which sends a message to predators 'don't even bother coming near me'. A very clever colour scheme which reflects how toxic it is whilst giving itself protection.
