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".

[–] Shard@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

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.

Here's the thing

[–] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 24 points 7 hours ago

Now you know why they smell like gross musty shit

A great adventure is waiting for you ahead. Hurry onward Ladybug, or you will soon be dead. The journey before you may be long and filled with woe. But you must escape the gay man's ass, or your tale can't be told.

Ladybug, Ladybug, Ladybug, Ladybug!

Ladybug's journey is distant, far and vast! To find his way out of a gay man's ass! The road ahead is filled with danger and fright! But push onward Ladybug with all of your might!

The Sparrow Prince lies somewhere way up ahead! Don't look back Ladybug, or you will soon be dead! Ladybug, Ladybug, the time is growing late. Slow down now, and seal your fate.

Take the magic helmet-torch to help you light the way, there's still a lot of ground to cross inside the man so gay! Ahead of you lies adventure, and your strength still lies within! Freedom from the ass of doom is the treasure you will win!

Ladybug came to the stomach dark.... Near the depths of the lungs and heart...

Catatafish of the stomach's cove!

Catatafish's riddle will soon be told!

Ladybug has made it out, his tale is nearly through!

Now that you're the beetle king has more adventures to go on! Fly away to faraway lands and to the setting sun! So many enemies and battles yet to fight! For Ladybug the Beetle King's tale is told throughout the night!

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

[–] PopcornPrincess@lemmy.world 11 points 10 hours ago

Lemmiwinks is our mascot.

No sorry this is gastro-entomology.

[–] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 3 points 4 hours ago

That was the joke I was trying to make but the combination of fat fingers and autocorrect bastardized it

[–] Malgas@beehaw.org 5 points 6 hours ago

This conversation is gastro-etymology, BTW.

Did they give Lindsay Graham a colonoscopy?

[–] InverseParallax@lemmy.world 13 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Oh dude just fuck you for adding this to the universe.

[–] AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Please explain, I'd like my daily dose of trauma

[–] TheSlad@sh.itjust.works 7 points 3 hours ago

The story goes that during the RNC, gay prostitutes are in high demand. There is one such guy who claims to have serviced Lindsay Graham's anus and said that it was peppered with raised moles, which Graham lovingly refered to as his "little ladybugs".

Allegedly.

Now we just need to know how many of these crawl up our bums like the amount of spiders we allegedly eat per year.

[–] julianh@lemm.ee 27 points 11 hours ago

don't ask about ladybug georg

[–] Kowowow@lemmy.ca 28 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Please let this be a normal field trip

[–] No_Eponym@lemmy.ca 13 points 7 hours ago

At my old school we never entered someone's rectum without consent.

[–] Blackout@fedia.io 25 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

I got spiders living in mine. Keeps the bugs out.

[–] psud@aussie.zone 5 points 4 hours ago

🎵He anally inserted a spider to eat the fly; I don't know why he inserted the fly; perhaps he'll die🎵

Pretty sure it didn’t survive a trip through stomach acid.

Did you ever find a bug on a vegetable in the market?

🤔

[–] Eiri@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 hours ago

I vote food. There must be some unlikely placement along a meal that allows it to spend minimal time in contact with the acid.

[–] Dragonstaff@leminal.space 6 points 7 hours ago

Maybe

Granted, I think a human stomach is more difficult to traverse than a frog, and it's more likely that it came in the back door. I'm just not willing to rule it out.

[–] Sludgehammer@lemmy.world 19 points 10 hours ago

My best guess is that it was on some of the equipment and somehow got transferred in during the colonoscopy.
