I need books about/with ladybirds - my dcs are terrified of them

We have had ladybirds in the house for almost a year, on and off. I didn't realize this before - but some of them bite! My dcs are terrified of ladybirds and are scared to find them in their rooms. We're reading books about them to try to make it more interesting, more of a game, etc. We've read a couple of short nonfictions, the Bad Tempered Ladybird, What the Ladybird Heard, and 10 Little Ladybirds. Can you recommend others? It's fine if it even has ladybirds in it, because I can point out - look, there's a ladybird on the elephant's tail! Isn't that funny! and so on.

theres a childrens tv show called Ben and Holly's little kingdom and it has a ladybird in it - i think called gaston - that ben the elf uses to fly on.
If you check on amazon you will see that there are a couple of books that they do ...

'The King of Tiny Things' by Jeanne Willis is a book about two girls who are frightened of creepy crawlies and are shown by 'The King' that there's nothing to be scared of and that we need creepy crawlies in the world.

Do ladybirds bite then?? I did not know that. I wish I still didn't know it. I like ladybirds...or I did!

There's a ladybird under a lift-the-flap leaf in Rod Campbell's Buster's Day and I have a feeling that there is also one in one of his smaller books, maybe the one about creepy crawly things. I've just had a look on the bookshelf but can't find it to check - sorry!

We got ladybird chocolates from a party today!

Julia Donaldson and Lydia Monks have a glittery, rhyming book called "What the Ladybird Heard" with a tiny ladybird to spot on each page.
