So it's cold - brrrrr Anyway - I brought in some of my plants from outside and there happened to be a couple of ladybugs on them - which thrilled Ella.... She got one to get on her finger and it was crawling around - she was in heaven. So, we had just finished dinner when all this was happening and oooops... the ladybug fell into her milk.... So I was quick to be the ladybug lifeguard.... It broke my heart - Ella was really crying about the ladybug (I think she thought it was her fault) and she was saying "don't die ladybug" - big ol dragon tears rolling down her cheeks. So - off to the sink I went, pouring her milk and caught the ladybug in my fingers. It had it's wings out and started crawling on my hand (slowly)... I cleaned off my other hand and let it crawl onto it... I decided to put it on my plant, you never know, there might be a aphthid (sp?) or two to help the ladybug replenish...
I am proud to say that our ladybug is still alive 4 hours later and has even flown a little big. There was a light, and well it's a bug... But all it well! Mommy to the rescue..
I wonder if they give our metals for that?
