Lederlin 380-L

The Lederlin 380-L (marketed in English as the Ladybug) was an unconventional light aircraft developed in France in the 1960s and marketed for homebuilding. Its designer François Lederlin originally set out to update the Mignet Pou-du-Ciel but eventually created a new aircraft sharing nothing with the Flying Flea but its choice of wing profile and its general layout. The 380 in the designation was a homage to the Pou-du-Ciel's H.M.380 designation.
