Born Free

One of G's classmates found a live ladybug at school on Thursday – and that cued me to release our ladybug that evening. I'm kind of going to miss the little chap, but I'll be glad not to have to carefully balance his water supply anymore and his buzzing against the roof of his pie box won't startle me at night.

Interestingly, on Saturday, as I was heading back into the house from the back porch, a ladybug landed on my upper arm. I only glanced at him, for I was going to call G and BB to come see the ladybug, but maybe it was the same that I let loose: it was the same shade of orange but I couldn't swear to the dot pattern. I wonder how far ladybugs roam during their lifetime.
