Ladybird or Ladybug?


I've always known it as Ladybird but Brendan says it is Ladybug.

So, I wiki searched it,,,

Coccinellidae is a family of beetles, known variously as ladybirds (UK, Ireland, Australia, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, South Africa, New Zealand, India, Malta, some parts of Canada and the US), or ladybugs (North America). Scientists increasingly prefer the names ladybird beetles or lady beetles[2] as these insects are not true bugs (nor birds). Lesser-used names include ladyclock, lady cow, lady fly,[3] and Xena Fly.

Ladybird Beetles is closer to Ladybird, so I will prefer to call it Ladybird but Kiki is calling it Ladybug due to the influence from her Papa.
