[Lexicog] lady bug

[Fritz Goerling]

Is this little bug not also called lady-cow in English?  I might be wrong.
If it is, where does the idea of cow in Hebrew and English come from  as a
label
for this pretty little bug?
In German it is considered to bring luck. How do other languages and
cultures see it?

About Moses it is easy. In Hebrew it is called "paarat Mosheh Rabbenu" -
i.e, the cow of of our Master Moses (a honorific title of Moses in Jewish
culture).
 
About the queen, I remember this by association. So I need to look in some
articles on the subject. I will write on this matter sometime later.
 
Best wishes,
Hayim

Thanks, Hayim, for that information,
 
Can you answer my questions for Moses and queen?
 
Fritz 
Dear Fritz,
 
Certain things are looked favorably in one language and with disgust in
others. Look for example to the positive reflections in the name of
'ladybug' in some languages and opposite
tendencies in others. In some languages it is viewed as  
 
 "insect loved by God,  = French (bête à bon Dieu)
 
Mary,  = German (Marienkäferchen)
 
Moses,  Which language?
 
 queen";  Which language?
 
 
 in others as a simple bug. 
 
Best regards,
Hayim Sheynin
