Lady. Bug.

I got home from the gym the other day and was washing my hands when I found (with a little jump scare) a ladybug on my arm.  Now I had had a jacket *over* that jacket (layers man) so I'm not sure how or when it got on me but I assumed it landed on me outside and I brought it inside.

Now ladybugs do have excellent PR as if this had been any other creepy crawly I would not have had such a positive/gentle reaction.

I apologized to the ladybug for being initially scared and said I would help it get outside but it flew off.

I tried to follow it but couldn't and then I tried to scan around the direction they'd gone but no luck.  I was worried as my windows have screens on them and I didn't know how it would make its way outside again without my help and I wasn't able to see it anymore.

Not that much later, I was sitting by my window and out of the corner of my eye I saw that ladybug on the screen!  OH YAY!  I moved to open the screen to let it out but it was already on the outside of the screen.

Which begs the question... was it the same ladybug?  Did it find some hole in my wall/window that it escaped out of?  (And could other not so happy bugs use that same escape route to get in?)

I of course have no idea if it was the same one or a coincidental second one but I do hope that the little cutie that was on my arm found its way back outside in some way as I haven't seen it anywhere inside since it first flew away.
