I went out to add water to the fountain on my patio and found a tiny ladybug floating on the water. Scooped it out. Wasn't moving on my finger and I thought maybe it was dead. But then I was able to slide a leaf under it from plants in the shade. It's been recuperating. Last I checked it was flicking its wings in and out. Drying them off?
And now she's hiding!

Or maybe it means I'm going to win one of the $1million prizes being given away in NC for having been vaccinated?

Excellent idea to offer a leaf, familiar texture, smell to help coax Ladybug back to life. Karma. Very very nice what you did.
