Insects
Fly, fly, ladybird!
Fly, fly, ladybird,
will the weather be fair tomorrow?
Whichever way it flies – toward the sun or away –
from that direction the good weather will come.

On Midsummer's Day, calamuses were brought so that flies would not come, that fleas would not come, there are very many of them in summer.
