Found alive but in terrible shape. Was swimming around in the water bowl we put out for feral cats here. Also appeared to have had a run in with a spider web, as it had something stuck all over it. Got a lot of suggestions for fungi and parasitoids that target ladybeetles, so maybe its appearance is more a function of a disease or parasite process taking place. It was definitely having trouble getting adound, but could be due to having been in the water for a long time and/or having bits of web
