The term 'божья коровка' translates to 'God's little cow' in English, but it's the Russian word for 'ladybird' or 'ladybug'. The name's origin is connected with Christian beliefs. In some cultures, it's thought that if a ladybug lands on you, it brings good luck. The association with divinity in its name is a nod to its beneficial properties in agriculture, as ladybugs eat pests.

On the other hand, 'ёж' is the Russian word for 'hedgehog'. In Slavic folklore, hedgehogs are often portrayed as wise and resourceful creatures. There's a popular Russian saying: 'Ёж понял, но в руку колется,' which means 'The hedgehog understands, but it pricks with its quills.' This signifies that someone might understand the situation but could still react defensively or aggressively. Both of these animals have unique cultural significances in Russia and are often found in Russian literature, folklore, and everyday idioms.
