Ladybug Soft Spot

I hate bugs. I hate mosquitos. I hate centipedes. I hate roaches. Ants, spiders, flies, anything creeping or crawling or buzzing. They should be eradicated off the face of the earth, as far as I'm concerned. I hate them all. Except ladybugs. I don't know why this is. They are just bugs like everything else. They have spindly little legs. They creep all over the place. They fly off without notice or warning. I should hate them. But I don't. I actually like them. I don't mind if they walk all over me (as long as it's just one). I was thinking about this as I saved a ladybug from the crosswalk around the corner from office as I was walking to lunch. If it was a spider in the crosswalk, I would have walked on by or crushed it underfoot. But it was a ladybug, so I stopped in the middle of the road, put my hand on the ground to entice it up, and placed it in the plants opposite the sidewalk.
