As you might be able to tell it's a bit of a dull journey.

I was going to release it right away but all the stops prior to mine are in built up areas.

The stop I'm getting off at happens to have a big open field and flower pots everywhere, so I think the little guy will be happier there.

Also he's guarding my micro sd card from harm as you can see.

  3. > so I think the little guy will be happier there.

    Either that or the spiders will be grateful for some fresh meat.

  5. The Dept of Transport are taking fare-dodging very seriously these days.

  6. Back in the 90’s, my great grandma would give us her empty matchboxes and we’d make “ladybird houses” while playing in her garden. Would occasionally find them weeks later and lets just say, the ladybirds did not enjoy a life of captivity….

  7. People always messing with nature. Just let it be.

  10. Imprisoned until it can realise. Therapy has got tough.

  11. As a kid, I once found one floating in a bucket at my grandparents. Fished it out and kept it overnight, and it showed its appreciation by laying eggs all round the rim of the jar I put it in. 

  12. Imagine being scooped up and dropped off millions of miles from your home, family and friends

  13. I appreciate the microSD card for scale so we know it’s not a giant.

  14. No mow May and i to June annoys a lot of neaty types but definite increase in insects and thence birds predating on them.

  15. Yeah we saved a bumblebee on the pathway today, it appeared to be struggling and was likely going to be in the way of some walking. So we picked it up with a leaf and moved it to a planter with flowers e.c.t .

    Out of the way.

  17. I have a bit of a ladybird phobia going on (yes I am aware of how amusing and ridiculous this is to other people). You were brave to catch it, I on the other hand would have had to get off the bus.

  19. Ladybird trafficking is a serious offence, you are a criminal

  20. You have tainted it. Its mother now won’t recognise it as it will smell of humans. Effectively you’ve condemned it to death.

  23. People like you OP get me through the day. Knowing there are others like me makes me feel hope

  25. Amazing what people will do to save an insect when they fund industries that cause billions of animal deaths yearly. 🤦‍♂️

    (Not that I disagree with saving bugs of course)

  26. Ladybird Times “I was abducted by Aliens on the 52”

    28th April should have been just another normal day for Jenny Bug, 32 hours, Mother of 45, as she caught the bus to town but no one could have predicted what happened next

    “I was in my usual place on the Bus when suddenly I had the strange sensation I was inside some sort of force field – I couldn’t see it but I also couldn’t escape it – I was worried because I needed to be at Bingo by 6 and on the windowsill by 9 – then all of a sudden I was in a field with lots of flower pots – it was strangely calm

    Jenny (not her real name) thinks she may have been sexually assaulted by the Aliens – “they had a probe and it smell faintly of Greggs pasties and he definitely stroekd my thorax within”

    More on this soon …

  27. “…and then he released me from the headphone case at some bus stop miles from home, so I had to fly all the way here, and that’s where I’ve been”

    “Where have you really been Clive?”

  29. o7 for calling it a ladybird unlike all the tiktok kids I work with who haven’t even heard the word ladybird and think a vase is called a vayse.
