    During the Middle Ages, swarms of pests were destroying crops,
    so farmers prayed to the Virgin Mary, the mother of
    Jesus, for help.
    Soon after, ladybirds came and ate the pests and saved the crops.
    The farmers called them "Beetles of Our Lady" and they eventually became known as "ladybirds".
