Ladybird is a beautiful red insect with black spots on its wings. An ancient fiction in Mazandaran says that when one takes a ladybird from the grass, bush, or farm and put it on his palm, the direction of its moving on the finger shows the future travel destination of that person! When the ladybird flew towards the East, it meant the person would travel to Mash'had to make pilgrimage to Imam Reza (8th Imam of Shiite Muslims).
If it flew towards the West, it indicated the person would travel to Kerbala, Iraq, to make pilgrimage to Imam Hussein (3rd Imam of Shiite Muslims).
If the ladybird flew towards the South, it showed that the person would go to Saudi Arabia for hajj ceremony.
And if the ladybird flew towards the North (towards the Caspian Sea), the person would likely travel overseas.
