quicko: ladybird

I recently learned that Australians call ladybugs either ladybeetles or ladybirds. They realize that they're not birds, but, well, I guess they just like to think of themselves as creative.

I have heard of them being referred to as Ladybird Beetles. Probably more so in my childhood than recently, though.
