Many cultures consider coccinellids lucky and have nursery
rhymes or local names for the insects that reflect this. For instance,
the Turkish name for the insect is uğur böceği, literally meaning
"good luck bug". In many countries, including Russia, Turkey,
and Italy, the sight of a coccinellid is either a call to make a wish
or a sign that a wish will soon be granted (Wikipedia).
In Christian areas, coccinellids are often associated with
the Virgin Mary and the name that the insect bears in the various
languages of Europe corresponds to this. Though historically
many European languages referenced Freyja, the fertility goddess
of Norse mythology, in the names, the Virgin Mary has now
largely supplanted her, so that, for example, freyjuhœna (Old
Norse) and Frouehenge have been changed into marihøne
(Norwegian) and Marienkäfer (German), which corresponds with
Our Lady's bird. Sometimes, the insect is referred to as belonging
directly to God (Irish bóín Dé, Polish boża krówka, all meaning
"God's [little] cow"). In Dutch it is called lieveheersbeestje, meaning
"little animal of our Good Lord" (Wikipedia).
