Etymology

Adalia is the scientific name for a group of ladybugs and was long ago the name of the city now called Antalya in Turkey. A helpful way to remember Adalia is to imagine a little ladybug 'from Adalia'—scientists often give animals place-names, so the name points to a place and helps you recall this group of beetles.
