Hi Swain, here's some stuff I found off of the internet:
The name "ladybird" originated in Britain where the insects became known as "Our Lady's bird" or the Lady beetle. Mary (Our Lady) was often depicted wearing a red cloak in early paintings, and the spots of the seven-spot ladybird (the most common in Europe) were said to symbolise her seven joys and seven sorrows.
Wow! Beautiful creatures:)
Wow, what a beautiful insect! Congrats on the SOTD :)
Please look at my suggestion.
Looks like a Pepsis wasp... It also bears a resemblance to the Tarantula Hawk.
