Our soup is onions, garlic, carrots, sage, Rosemary and uchiki kuri. A ladybird fell off the Rosemary. At first I thought it was dead, then it started crawling round the kitchen! Will it die anyway or should I find it a house plant or put it back outside? I don't Know much about the lifecycle of ladybirds.

Oh I forgot there are chillies in it too.
