There's a ladybug following me everywhere since yesterday.

@LeoRJorge yeah we started heating this room (it's upstairs from my parents' floor) during our visit starting last week. So she may appreciate the heat. Going to fetch some fresh basil and gonna spray water on a nice rock for her, hoping she appreciates it ❤️

e come sopravvivi senza un gatto?.

Comunque acari e uova ne trovano parecchi in una abitazione normale.

@_elena to aphids are the bugs that eat the basil, the ladybug likes to eat those, not the basil @albertcardona

@_elena I suppose if someone in the neighbourhood has a greenhouse for growing vegetables, that would probably be a good spot too - I'd expect other insects to be active in there already. That is, assuming the owners don't use insecticides, anyway.

Not sure elsewhere, but in my culture, ladybugs are "good luck" symbols.

And supposedly they eat the bad bugs that kill plants, so if you have a plant somewhere, put it there. It'll help you.

Photographic proof!
I actually have two potato rocks/rock potatoes: a Yukon gold and a baby red.

@Gorfram 🤩 here’s mine (or rather: my daughter’s and she doesn’t want me to borrow it for the ladybug, she’s holding on to it like a treasure)
