Gold Ladybug
- Internal Item ID: 4362 (Desktop, Console and Mobile versions)
Gold Ladybug

Flying state
The Gold Ladybug is a harmless critter. It is a golden recolor of the ordinary Ladybug, with a 1/400 (0.25%) chance of spawning in place of the ordinary version.
The Gold Ladybug has only 5 health and no defense, and can be damaged by other enemies and players.
The Gold Ladybug can be caught with any Bug Net to be carried around in the inventory and released later, or crafted into animated decorative furniture (Gold Ladybug Cage). Once crafted, the Gold Ladybug cannot be released again, unless the furniture item is de-crafted via Shimmer(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions). The Gold Ladybug itself or the crafted furniture can be sold for 10 GC.
The Gold Ladybug can be used as bait for fishing, with 50% bait power.
Touching naturally spawned Gold Ladybugs will temporarily increase the player's luck, while killing natural or player-released Gold Ladybugs or consuming them as bait will temporarily decrease the player's luck and boost the chance of rain.[1] However, using them for crafting does not affect luck, allowing the following recipes to be made consequence-free.
It is one of the few entities that can be detected by the Lifeform Analyzer or its upgrades.

- The
Bestiary entry for the Gold Ladybug: "Rarely, critters are found coated entirely in gold! They are worth great coin to shopkeepers and fish absolutely love golden bait!"
