Is this from South Park?
(Cue the Capt America I get that reference gif)
In the episode, "The Death Camp of Tolerance", Mr. Garrison inserts Lemmiwinks into Mr. Slave's anus with the hope that he'll get fired. Lemmiwinks then travels through Mr. Slave's digestive system to reach freedom.
Episode s06e14
Lemmiwinks is our mascot.

That looks like more like an Asian Beetle than a typical Lady Bug. Those bastards will crawl into any crack or crevice they can squeeze themselves into to find a place to over-winter. They're annoying, they smell like gross musty shit, and they will bite you given the opportunity.
So while this is the first time I've seen one in someone's colon, I'm not completely shocked either. In fact, it's kind of "on brand".
Now you know why they smell like gross musty shit
That is one hardy mofo.
Before any sort of colonoscopy, they give you a days worth of liquid laxatives that you need to drink and you will spend the better part of the day before your procedure shitting what feels like a grown man worth of shit.
Only then will the colon look as clean as it does in the picture.
That damn bug survived all that. Either that or he climbed in a nice clean colon after all the shit was evacuated.
Recent colonoscopy here, can confirm the "grown man worth of shit" estimation

Now we just need to know how many of these crawl up our bums like the amount of spiders we allegedly eat per year.
don't ask about ladybug georg
How did it get there?
Pretty sure it didn’t survive a trip through stomach acid.
Did you ever find a bug on a vegetable in the market?
🤔

My best guess is that it was on some of the equipment and somehow got transferred in during the colonoscopy.
Please let this be a normal field trip
At my old school we never entered someone's rectum without consent.
Here is a link with more information if anyone is curious: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6791639/
The proposed theory is the preparations the patient made for the colonoscopy may have allowed the ladybug to survive the digestive system.

I got spiders living in mine. Keeps the bugs out.
🎵He anally inserted a spider to eat the fly; I don't know why he inserted the fly; perhaps he'll die🎵
"Geez, Allen. You got a bug up your butt or what?"
If that ladybug makes it out, it’ll have one hell of a story to share with its fellow bugs.
Sounds like a great writing prompt actually.

Truly a shitpost.
Gastroenterology FTFY
No sorry this is gastro-entomology.
This conversation is gastro-etymology, BTW.

When you get so drunk you wake up and have no idea where you are or how you got there.
I remember this level from The Fractured But Whole.
Save Him.
Lemmywinks, if you stay here you will die.
Don’t er have like digestive juices and bacteria to kill stuff exactly like this?
James and the Giant Peach 2, Ladybug's Revenge.
