ladybug, ladybug


did you know 20% of all living species on earth are beetles? just a little tidbit. the beetle (including our diminutive ladybug) is the world's most prolific creature, with some 350,000 species. thankfully for us mammals (total species : less than 5000), beetles don't bite, sting, or carry diseases. rather, they are very useful little critters. according to arthur v. evans + charles l. bellamy of an inordinate fondness for beetles, they "function as tiny recycling machines that return organic materials to the soil, making them available again for use by plants + other animals." some beetles are also extremely social, + live harmoniously with other bugs like ants or termites. can't beet that.

when she's not busy making sure our wholesale customers are happy, lindsay can be found baking treats, riding her bike in the sun, or snuggling up in a mom-made quilt.
