Whenever I see a Ladies Bug I must think to a mission story from Africa, I have read thirty years or more ago. I can no more remember to the authors name or to book title or where the story has happened. Sorry.
During WWII a mission station on one of the african Atlantic coasts must live mostly from food, they harvested on their own gardens and fields because trade ship lines to Europe have been broken. The missionaries have been isolated from their home church. They found in one year out, they had to await a Locust plague because the big counters of eggs - and they had nothing against - no chemy or any other help. They asked the Lord for help (what else?) - and the same day a mighty black cloud appeared over the Atlantic (unlogic - from where sould it come? Out in the waters was no country) and came nearer and covered the country - a Lady Bug invasion. They have eaten all or the most of the young Locusts.
