All Slavic languages: My little beetle! (term of endearment)

[Encolpius]

Hello, do all Slavic language use "my little beetle" as term of endearment? Thanks.

Czech: brouk - beetle, brouček - little beetle - broučku! (as endearment)
Slovak: chrobák - chrobáčik - chrobáčik!

Moja pszczółko.. Sure, in Polish. Typically towards children I would say, but the word can also be used to describe a very diligent person. Ona jest taką pszczółką, nie usiądzie dopóki wszystkiego nie zrobi.

Edit: the basic form is pszczoła, but it refers to insects only.

I do not mean insects in general, but the specific "beetle" which is chrząszcz and the diminutive is chrząszczyk. Do you say "Chrząszczyk!" ?
By the way "little bee" is interesting, too, because it is not used as term of endearment in Czech.

Bee or beetle - who cares. ;-)
I've heard "chrabąszczyku". Chrząszczyk - I do not think so.

E.g.: I do care.

Either way, to make a long story short I've heard chrabąszczyk, but less often than pszczółka.

Ok, Thanks.
