On Facebook, JeanieS asks one of those questions that I've never stopped to ponder: "Just took a Ladybug outside where she belonged and it made me ponder, since I refer to Ladybugs as 'she,' is there a 'he' and if so, does he have an image conflict being called a Lady. And if there is no 'he' then how do all the she's get created?"
