Ladybugs for Luck

If a young girl catches a ladybug
and then releases it, the direction in
which it flies away will be the direction
from which her future husband will come.

It is bad luck to kill a ladybug.

The deeper the ladybug's color,
the better luck it brings. The number
of spots on its back are also important.
The more spots...the better the luck.
