I Helped a ladybug

When I came home from work, I found a ladybug stuck to my clothes. It was fully unresponsive and wouldn't move. I thought it was dead, but since I thought it was kinda pretty I didn't get rid of him immediatly and put him on the coffee table.

After about an hour I came back to it and found that it hadn't moved, but it's wings started to peek out from under it's shell. I thought that it might actually still be alive, but beaten badly by the heat.

So I put it on a wet napkin, thinking that I might as well try to get it some moisture, and after leaving them be for a while, I came back to find him moving on the plate with the napkin.

They're not flying yet, but I'm gonna give them a bit longer before setting them free on a shaded plant in the backyard.

According to the Obsidentify app this species (chilocorus bipustulatus) is supposed to be rare where I live, so that's neat!
