Ladybug

The Ladybug is one of two varieties of ladybug that appear in the GCN games. Unlike the other variety, the Spotted ladybug, this insect did not feature in any other games in the series. It is worth 130 bells and is commoner than the Spotted Ladybug. The Ladybug can be found on flowers, typically blue or pink ones, and is black with two red spots as opposed to red with seven black spots.

Upon Donation
Blathers, the curator of the museum, will unwillingly accept insects for display. After donation, Blathers will speak of the ladybug;

In Animal Crossing
"Ladybugs are one insect I thought might appeal to me. Then I made the grievous error of touching one. This vile fluid appeared from someplace and.. Oh, it was everywhere! Blech! Utterly appalling!"

In New Leaf
"Despite the name, not all ladybugs are 'ladies.'  There are also male ladybugs.  Though you'll see different ladybugs with different numbers of spots, they don't get more as they age.  Ladybugs eat insects harmful to crops.  A few species eat the leaves of crops, but most are beneficial.  They're tough against the cold, but during winter they stay in groups under dry leaves for warmth."

Further Information
The word Chica, as seen in the Japanese text for the insect when it is caught, refers to a type of Japanese tomato.

Ladybugs are considered lucky in most cultures in the world. The name varies with Ladybird and Ladybeetle acceptable depending on the country, and the original derivation of Ladybird was from the belief that during the time aphids destroyed crops, farmers prayed to Virgin Mary for assistance. Ladybirds became the answer to solving the crisis, and they became known as the Beetles Of Our Lady.
