The article provides information about entomomorphic (beetle) element - a stylized ladybird motif - in the crocheted towel lace in Latgale (Krāslava district, Kombuļi civil parish, Skadiņi). The ladybird has two big and two small spots on each wing, with a pronounced elytral suture, six legs, and a head with two antennas.
