Band name only shown on a drumskin in "The Ladybugs" episode (24 March 1964) of TV sitcom Petticoat Junction (1963-1970). Scheming Uncle Joe Carson's (Edgar Buchanan) money-making scheme is an all-female Beatles-type band called The Ladybugs. He gets the three Bradley sisters to be in it, but needs one more. They recruit friend Sally Ragsdale (Sheila James Kuehl), who lets Joe borrow her dad's drums from this band.
Her father, Sherrif Pete Ragsdale (Michael Ross) of the town of Pixley, may therefore be the band's drummer. We don't know what type of music they play, but its definitely not rock and/or roll.
