    Bugs I found in my Toolbox - Ladybug

    My first attempt at a Ladybug using nuts, open ended wrenches and adjustable wrenches.

    I'm wondering if a Lady Bug in Canada is the same/similar to a Ladybird in the UK.

    Whilst I'm pondering that conundrum, I've a couple of observations, if I may be so bold!
    I see two areas one at each side of what I shall call its head, I can't decide if you intended these to look like eyes or if you haven't cleanly finished removing some attachment from those two areas. I admire your creativity Manfred well done


    PS. If a Lady bug is the same as a Ladybird then maybe the inclusion of some spots (small nuts maybe?) on the back as shown in the following link:-

    Yes it is Peter. Same term in the USA too. More variety in color where I live but all called Ladybugs.

    Definitely a version control issue on my part. I had cleaned those areas up, but uploaded an earlier version of the image here. I have corrected the flaws now.

    I had tried using small nuts originally, but the whole back area is already quite busy and adding those made things even busier, so I removed them.
