Sunday we were sitting at the table looking at our ladybugs crawling around it's cage and noticed they couldn't fly. How sad...So, we decided to release them outside. The kids had butterflies and silkworms in their classroom so they know it's best for the critters to be outside. We took them out and the kids set each ladybug on a flower - one still was working on getting out of its pupae, but we put her out too. (They also go ladybug hunting at school - the teachers release 100s of ladybugs in the yard - so they knew how to carefully pick up each bug) We actually didn't see any of them fly away, but we know they are much happier outside.
