Ray, in his _South and East Country Words_, has this:--

"Bishop, the little spotted beetle, commonly called the lady-cow

or lady-bird. I have heard this insect in other places called

golden-knop, and doubtless in other countries it hath other

names. (_E. W._ p. 70) Golden-bugs the common Suffolk name."
