A stylised version of the 2 spot ladybird, Adalia 2-punctata (f.typica), is the emblem of Pestalozzi International Village Trust. It is used in our logo and elsewhere on promotional material.
Some of the first children to come to Pestalozzi chose the ladybird as a symbol of hope. It is universally recognised as an emblem of good luck in all our students' countries, and is particularly loved by organic gardeners as a natural predator helping to increase biodiversity; strengthening another Pestalozzi message of sustainable development.
