I saw one ladybug out there. Poor thing.... I hope it dosn't eat itself to death.

That's a word which seems to have taken off over here. I don't know if there are any regions where it was already used, but as far as I know we pretty much all used ladybird. I often hear youngsters (my nieces for instance) calling them ladybugs now.

It's been ladybug here since I've been small so it is the proper british word of ladybird that it has always been there.

You know here in the west it's trailer park english.
