In the middle ages, nasty insects were destroying the farmers' crops. When the Catholic farmers prayed to the blessed Virgin Mary ( who is sometimes called " Our lady")', Asking her to get rid of the bad insects, she sent an army of red and black beetles that devoured all the bad insects. In gratitude, the farmers called these plant protectors "Beetles of our lady." Eventually the name shortened to Lady Beetles.
