@albertcardona ah we have basil in my uncle's garden (one street over) and we often keep fresh basil in a glass with water. Hmmm maybe I'll go fetch a basil leaf for her?
@_elena to aphids are the bugs that eat the basil, the ladybug likes to eat those, not the basil @albertcardona

@pmdj thank you for the explanation, this may be it! Indeed our rooms are typically unheated when we're in France and now they''re nice and warm. I'll try find an adequate home for her...
@_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.

There's a ladybug following me everywhere since yesterday.
She roamed near me as I did a video call from my child's room yesterday morning.
Today she flew on my computer monitor and wandered around for a bit. Then I went to shower and she followed me to the bathroom, planting itself on the window. She's very cute.
Do you have any ladybug care tips? How can I help her with food and water?
(My mom says it's still too cold to bring her outside... my 5-year-old is smitten too) š
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.

I have a potato rock, too! It looks so real I could easily try to eat it by mistake. š„ š¤£Does your potato have little dips or dimples? Those could be just right for ladybug water cups.
@_elena
Photographic proof!
I actually have two potato rocks/rock potatoes: a Yukon gold and a baby red. -

@_elena In some traditions (sorry, don't remember which ones, just heard that and remembered the fact) ladybugs are considered as a spirit of, or a sign from, our loved deceased. š
@agturcz@circumstances.run @_elena@mastodon.social Yeah i read that on a chinese slice of life web comic... Any insect, really. Butterflies, dragonflies, beetles. I think that it is a very nice way to think of both insects and remember your loved ones.
Sadly it's probably not possible to care for a ladybug unless you have a plant infested with aphids. They are tiny predators. Their larvae even more, to the point they are called aphid lions in German. -

I can really recommend this for a healthy wholesome portrayal of relationship. Its both nerdy and very romantic.

The reference is in there ultiple times but I can't seem to find it in thousands of episodes. -

@_elena@mastodon.social I don't have any tips, but they are a type of beetle so it might be worth consulting a Japanese schoolboy. They're experts!

@_elena That is indeed a very potato-ey rock.
Iām sure the ladybug wonāt mind admiring it from afar. š

@_elena I saw a ladybug outside today in the Netherlands. We have some relative warm days though, at the moment.

@cwebber one interesting element of this is Aveta is on blacksky, which i understand to be a completely independent service provider. So this user is being emailed that they are in violation of a TOS that they arguably arenāt even party to.

Highguard is shutting down after only a few weeks, thus completing its Concord-like arc.
There should be a name for a genre of live service games where you can only play them for a few weeks before everything shuts down.
I suggest āDOA-as-a-serviceā.
