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 42 points 4 days 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.

Recent colonoscopy here, can confirm the "grown man worth of shit" estimation

Now you know why they smell like gross musty shit

I think they mean "gastroentomology".

Tee hee hee.

[-] myrrh@ttrpg.network 6 points 3 days ago

...that's some clever gastroetymology...

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!

Is this from South Park?

(Cue the Capt America I get that reference gif)

[-] hsdkfr734r@feddit.nl 26 points 4 days ago

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.

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.

[-] AnimePhantasm@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

I love how much of the article is just explaining what a ladybug is.

"Geez, Allen. You got a bug up your butt or what?"

[-] Gork@lemm.ee 52 points 4 days ago

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 38 points 4 days ago

don't ask about ladybug georg

[-] Illogicalbit@lemmy.world 15 points 4 days ago

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.

[-] tehmics@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

Yeah it'd almost be like if a person got swallowed by a whale or something. Someone should write a book about it.

[-] BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca 36 points 4 days ago

Did they give Lindsay Graham a colonoscopy?

[-] InverseParallax@lemmy.world 18 points 4 days ago

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

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.

[-] Blackout@fedia.io 31 points 4 days ago

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🎵

When you get so drunk you wake up and have no idea where you are or how you got there.

[-] stupidcasey@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago

No sorry this is gastro-entomology.

[-] Malgas@beehaw.org 11 points 4 days ago

This conversation is gastro-etymology, BTW.
