Oak Twig with Ladybird
I found the ladybird in my back yard and brought it indoors, thinking it was dead. As I drew it, it started to come back to life, wiggling one of its back legs. Later, it ran around the table a few times, before heading for the window. I took it back outside, where I hope it went back into hibernation.
