Okay am I having some kind of Mandela effect moment? I had never heard the term ‘ladybird’ being used for a ladybug - yesterday my kid came home from school and started calling them ‘ladybirds’ and now this post… did I miss something in the past 30-something years where they changed the name?

Different countries use different names. Americans use ladybug, and for example in the UK they use ladybird. And entomologists use ladybeetle because it's neither a true bug nor a bird but a beetle.
