Ladybug Balsa Ornament

The ladybug is actually a kind of beetle that feasts on insects. Not all ladybugs are red and black. Their iconic spots ward off predators.

Made out of sustainably harvested balsa wood, these lightweight ornaments are hand-carved and then painted with non-toxic acrylic paint by a cooperative of skilled artisans on Isla Solentiname, Nicaragua. Approximate size: 5" x 2".
